ok this is now a real question because i have something els working i got kde gnome xfce but when i rebooted i got a blank screen for the boot loader and then i hit enter and it started to boot gentoo but ok i have no problem with that but when i get to the shell i hit kdm and its video card has not been detected and i cannot read the text so it there something i can emerge while in slackware chrooted into gentoo that will get my internet to work and then emerge something to get the video card to work.

waaaaaaaaaaaa ???
could u please break that up into smaller sentances mate. ur saying ur able to start the GUI or ur not able to start it ??

Grammar is freaking awesome man.

What kind of video card do you have?

i have no clue how do i check

Type 'lspci' into a terminal and post the output.

Probably it is using framebuffer and it is using the settings that your monitor does not support. If you set framebuffer as a module, enter the names of the framebuffer modules in /etc/hotplug/blacklist. This will make sure framebuffer is not loaded upon boot up. For grub, you need to leave out the splash because it also uses framebuffer.

Please use a word processor like OpenOffice or something else to check the grammar.

I hope this is sarcasm.

that shows its an onboard intel VGA chip. now if your GUI is not starting on account of the graphics driver not being detected can you show us what the "Devices" section of your xorg.conf file looks like ? perhaps changing the river there manually will give the desired results.
