Your problem is related to your mouse. Check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make
sure a mouse (usually /dev/psaux) is set. Also make sure your regular
user can access it. The easiest way to test that is as your user run
"cat /dev/<what ever your mouse is>" then move the mouse around. You
should see stuff appearing on the screen as you move it if everything is
all right.

Hi all,
I’m new to Gentoo (and relatively new to Linux in general). I’m
running it in VMWare as I evaluate systems to ultimately replace
Windows. I really like the speed of Gentoo and think the portage
system is excellent.
Yesterday I emerged gnome-light and am able to startx as root, but not
as a normal user. This seems like a permissions problem to me.
However, I have not found anything on Google to point me in the write
direction.
Please find attached my X11 start up log from my regular user account.
Hopefully someone can help.
Thanks,
Mike
