Is that the monitor setup via xrandr :?:

If so move ~/.xprofile to ~/.xprofile.save and try restarting xdm

aortell24,

Did you change anything or do en emerge update :?:

It's hard for me to help on this end because I suffer with one monitor :(

It could be related to xorg.conf :!:

Try emerging the x11 drivers

Code:
emerge -av1 $(qlist -I -C x11-drivers)

then restart

that did not work thanks for the suggestion though what I don't understand is why it works all the way up to the grub splash as soon as the grub splash screen goes away the monitor turns off I really don't want to reinstall you have no idea how many times I have installed gentoo in the past two weeks .

Don't reinstall, you'll end up in the same spot - someone will probably help :D

When X took over the display it should have returned, but for some reason it didn't. Did you check xrandr :?:

What do you mean check xrandr ? Do you mean try to set the resolution again.It has all new settings available now for that monitor but it wont turn on.

Does yours say connected or disconnected

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 473mm x 296mm

This computer has a VGA and HDMI connector , but I only use the HDMI.

I just did a reinstall and it is working now.Thanks for all the help Billwho.I am having a problem with NetworkManager. My network will not function with it on I use pppoe to connect which in its self is weird but my wired connection will not work without it .My wired connection will not work with NetworkManager on as soon as I turn it off I get a connection.My wifi connection I cannot ping from or emerge --sync with it ,but I can surf the web through my browser.I am thinking about just using WICD this time as I am in the middle of a fresh install right now.I have another thread about the wifi but I am not getting many responses.I can ping and emerge -sync at school so I have to think it is my network.But I have this same problem on both my laptop and desktop.But my grandma's laptop works perfectly but she uses windows.
