I have installed Funtoo on my HD, the system boots fine, I see the
command prompt, I' m able to do "emerge --sync", I have installed
Gnome, but when I typed "startx", I received this disappointing
message:
"(ΕΕ) Failed to load module "ati" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

Fatal server error:

I see no /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but only /etc/X11/xorg.conf.example,
which is ( I dismiss the commented lines):

Look for the video parameter on make.conf and add vesa and radeon

The xorg.conf now its a legacy file. Most of devices works out of the
box with HAL and evdev.

You should review this

... and when you re-emerge your x11-drivers, which seems to need to be
done after every xorg-server-upgrade now, you can do it really easily
like this:

emerge app-portage/portage-utils (if you haven't already), and run

emerge -1av $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)

the "-1" switch (shorthand for "--oneshot") prevents emerge from
writing
to the, which helps keep it uncluttered. :)

Oops, that should read:

the "-1" switch (shorthand for "--oneshot") prevents emerge from
writing to the world file, which helps keep it uncluttered. :)

Well, my friends, I made a parallel installation of the three missing
drivers:

emerge -1 xf86-video-vesa xf86-video-fbdev xf86-video-ati

I rebooted my machine and all went fine!
Problem solved! I'm a Funtoo user now!
