Before the EndSection (in line 90) you forgot EndSubSection
 

I added EndSection as advised and startx

This time it worked starting 3 xterm windows.  The USB mouse did not 
work.  I have no idea how to close them.

TAB key
Ctrl + Alt - Del
Ctrl + Alt + F1 to F10
All have no effect

Hi Ernie,

Stephen, send the contents of /etc/X11/XF86Config
It looks like "startx" cannot find the config file. If you have not
created this file, go to the Gentoo desktop configuration guide:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml
look for"Code listing 2.2: Running xf86config"
     

I followed

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml
Code listing 2.2
and
https://www6.software.ibm.com/developerworks/education/l-xwin/l-xwin-3-1.html
to create XF86Config and test the same according to Code listing 2.3.But still failed
