startx fails

[bULLdOG64]

I have installed Gentoox Pro Linux, and updatet it with all the available patches.The problem is to get X to start. I have tried xbvset and all the different modes one by one with no luck.
I have an v1.3 modded XBox (flashed original bios with executer2).

Thank you for your fast response.

It did not work for me, even with the XF86Config from gentoox.shallax.com
I did manage to get up an stable X (cursor) thoug when starting Xserver with the X command.

Are there something i'm missing here?

Thank you again, i realy would like to get this up an running.

did you install xfree with magic or did you just emerge it yourself

[bULLdOG64]

did you install xfree with magic or did you just emerge it yourself

I installed xfree (and all the other pathes) with magic.

[nobspangle]

as a last resort you could try

magic fix xfree && magic

but this will recompile and reinstall xfree

****edit sorry just spotted a mistake****

[bULLdOG64]

Thanx nobspangle.

As a last resort i'll rather go for the home edition
... i found out that - a newbie like me - had to big ambitions to install the Pro edition...

but thanx anyway nobspangle for great feedback.

btw: HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!!

I am now getting this same problem when trying to start x. Clean install of the home version, I ran magic, then I played around with xbvset to get it right on my TV screen. then tried to startx and got the error listed above.

I have tried the emerge sync && emerge gdm and it went thru no problems.

and I am doing all this from putty


after going thru all this, I then went and check what was on my TV screen, followed the instruction (because now I can read them) and all is good.

sorry

magic fix displaytools && magic
