A Journey to Gentoo: Intel Video Card and Xorg Installed.

config intel video card on Gentoo Linux.

first, make sure the kernel module option, "Device Drivers –> Graphics support –> Direct Rendering Manager –> Intel 810" should be checked for my i810 card.

then set  VIDEO_CARDS="intel"  in /etc/make.conf.

now, reinstall xorg-x11:  # sudo emerge -uDNva xorg-x11.

when all above steps were finished, remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf, run $ startx, and everything is fine.

Though, there is neither any input method nor web browser installed, a easy journey to go.
