Thank for your advice.
re-edited /etc/X11/XF86Config
file attached to this email.
and did 'Code listing 2.10' afterward
# nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 mousedev hid usbcore input
(Remark: kindly advise what do they mean, hid, usbcore, etc.)
Now 'startx' evokes X window to popup 3 windows 1) login window bash-2.05b# 2) xterm window bash-2.05b# 3) a small Clock
Mouse can move around and I can type on windows 1) and 2). But they indicate the 'bash version' 'bash-2.05b#' instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] root] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] satimis]
Ctrl + Alt + '+' indicating an warning "Video input, 1 D-Sub, out of range" Ctrl + Alt + F7 works Ctrl + Alt + F1 changes to text mode; "mymachine root#". (I think this is Single User Mode) Ctrl + Alt + F2 popup following warning
Module Loader present
Markers: (--) probed, (***) from config file, (==) default setting,
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) Warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Mon Oct 20
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
Using vt7Pressing ^c (Ctrl+c) popup another warning waiting for X server to shut down login: fatal 10 error 32 (Broken pipe) or KILLClient on X server ":0.0" xterm: fatal 10 error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0"
xinit: unexpected signal 15.
I have no idea how to fix this problem.

Please read:

It covers USB mouse setup, and many other topics germane to your dilemma. It would also appear that your keyboard is not properly configured in XF86Config.

Hi Scharf,
CTRL + ALT + BS should do the trick(stop the server). I don't know why CTRL+ALT+F? didn't work.
Edit the file /etc/rc.conf and set the value of XSESSION properly. In my case XSESSION="kde-3.1.4
I force-rebooted the PC and edited /etc/rc.conf changing XSESSION="kde-3.1.4" (original 'GNOME")
This time 'startx' started 4 windows 2 xterm (bash-2.05b) login (bash-2.05b) clock
I could not type. The cursor was there.
TAB key Ctrl + Alt - (+) Ctrl + Alt + F1 to F10 Ctrl + Alt + Del ESC Mouse
all could not work.
The screen went black/dark after a few minutes. 'Number Lock' key has no function, LCD light gone and PC locked/hung.
(Remark: KDE not properly installed yet)

Hi Ernie,
- snip -
I followedStephen, 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"
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
