[SOLVED] xorg: Failed to load module...


Hi,

I just installed Gentoo on my laptop. Everything works fine so far , except xorg.
Im getting the following error when i try to "startx" as normal user, as well as as root:

        Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.X.Org
        to make sure that you have the latest version.

I copied the xorg.conf from a webpage about that Laptop + Xorg.
Can someone please give me hint?

Try removing bitmap and pcidata from modules section in xorg.conf
