Salut sebB,

When I launch xmonad I've any message on the screen it's like an ordinary command but I get nothing as a result.
It's as if I press the Enter key without any command.

Did you already installed or tried xmonad on your gentoo ?

What profile are you using? You have minimal use flag (you need de X USE).
Do you set your video card in your make.conf?

The USE of your emerge --info do not match with the gnome profile (why using the gnome profile?).
No mention of your video card in your emerge --info?
What eselect profile list say?

initially it was on the /amd64/13.0 so I set it on the gnome (Just for fun) but the result is the same.

The variable video card appears in emerge --info to the last lines. I can't copy-past the output.

On principle, you should try to fix your copy/paste problem so that you can provide us exact output when someone suggests a command to run. Could you describe in what way the copy/paste support is currently broken?
