Hello ,

I installed gentoo on my laptop, a dell inspiron 5000e with Rage 128 Mobility video card. I can't start X with startx. I tried XFree86 -configure but it doesn't create any configuration file. What is odd is I can't find the error.
I tried with a XF86Config file that worked on Debian but that doesn't work either. I don't know what to do next.

Here is the console output

I figured it out: I had the kernel compiled with grSecurity set on high. I disabled it and everything ran ok
