Xorg and i915 problems (updated, still need assistance)

[stillspiraling]

EDIT: See below for my latest log printouts!


The gentoo-wiki told me to add my drivers into the kernel as so:
Device Drivers -> Character devices -> <*> dev/agpart, <*> Intel 440LX [etc], then <M> Direct Rendering Manager, <M> Intel 830M, 845G, etc, and finally <M> i915 driver. I decided to just INSTALL all of these, using <*> instead of M.

Order of events now: I edited make.conf and put in VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx" This was an accident, I thought for some reason I had an ati card. After trying to do emerge xorg-X11 I was given a message saying it could not locate one called fglrx, but finished all the same. I reran it after editing the VIDEO_CARDS setting once again, and it was fine!
When running Xorg-configure, it breaks stating "caught signal 11, aborting"

Where should I go from here? I tried manually editing my xorg from another person with the SAME laptop, and when i entered the "i810" as Driver, it states it can't find it when I try startx.

I am a little lost.

Thanks so much in advance, I LOVE these forums for all the help I've gathered thus far!

try
X -configure
then if xorg fails to start for you post /var/log/xorg.0.log

sorry im not sure about that one, kinda looks like a driver issue maybe you could try to build it as a modules since you did say you went back in and built it into the kernel correct?

hang in there someone else will jump in to help.

OK, I added the specific video drivers as modules in the kernel and installed them. I also installed all of the usb stuff via emerge, as well as x86-mouse, and x86 keyboard. After running Xorg -configure again, here's what I have:

Any ideas?

Here's my Xorg.0.log, and posted below this is the xorg.conf.new that it generated:

[stillspiraling]

Here's the output after I attempt to run 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new'

[Dan]

mouse shouldn't be too difficult.
try /dev/psaux or /dev/input/mice i bet either will work.

from the console you can do

cat /dev/psaux

and move your mouse, If you see garbled output then you have the correct device.

~ # ls /dev/input
by-path event0 event1 mice mouse0

Thanks very much dcoats - that's exactly what I did and it is entering X correctly now, but it is still throwing this error at the bottom stating that it cannot locate the i915_xxxx.dri, and then switching to software rendering! Any ideas on that one?

[wah]
