I'm trying to get X windows setup on a new notebook I just purchased.
It's a P4 with an ATI Mobility Radeon X600 graphics card, with a
built-in WiFi card and 3-in-1 memory card reader.
I just installed Gentoo from the 2005.0 x86 install discs, followed by
emerging gnome from the x86 packages

Notice that startx uses different config files (.Xauthority?!), while
the init xdm uses the variables of etc/conf.d/xdm, so, adding xdm to
your default runlevel should start it automatically, if you don't want
it, you can always use the script, make and alias or create a symlink.
Just for curiosit

1. Try run python-updater and then try to re-emerge
2. If this doesn't work try creating the file
"/etc/portage/package.mask"; then you must edit it adding the line
"=dev-python/pyvorbis-1.4"; then "env-update", "source /etc/profile",
"emerge -uD world" .
