I would like to get Gnome running on a HP zd7000 laptop. I emerged Grub with out error, when I run startx I get the following error:Below that you can see my xorg.conf file. I have been doing some research and since have added the nvidia-kernel module, it kinda seemed strange that at the time of compiling the 2.6.11 kernel it does have the option to enable support for nvidia chips. I have also modified my config file a few times. Google has brought up some helpful hints to properly config this file, yet I am hitting a few bumps. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. One more thing, am also troubled by the mouse0 error when I cat /dev/input/mice I see data. I've had:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mice"   &

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "USB Mice"

and get the same error message!
