Xfree86 issues with Gentoo.
I just installed Gentoo from Stage 1, but however, I got one problem. Whenever I try to access the gui, the XFree86 application freezes, I can't move my mouse, and my keyboard is un-responsive.
It also takes about a minute to load up the XFree system before it freezes up.
Help?

You definitely need to reconfigure XFree86. Sometimes I've had problems, and just running the automatic reconfiguration usually helps a lot:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xfree86setup auto-configures on all of the distros I've used, but if that doesn't work, you should probably browse through /usr/X11R6/bin for something similar. xf86config will let yoiu set it up manually, and it isn't too difficult.

Actually, it was a problem with my compile flags, I just recompiled with the corrected cflags, and it is now working as it should.
