Now I love Gentoo as a distribution, but the way to setup X *must* be improved! I have just finished installing on an older Athlon with a Nvidia 2mx graphic card.
Xorg -configure just fails: it says it can't detect my mouse (it's an IBM ps/2 trackpoint). xorgconfig gives an unusable config. In the end, the solution was to use xorgconfig, then boot a knoppix CD, copy the xorg.conf to the gentoo installation. Now it works. I wonder that such a superb distribution has no sensible way to setup X in a time when most others "just work". I think there is an urgent need for development in this area.
