Default Xorg not starting after initial install

I'm installing Gentoo 2005.1-r1. Got thru the installatioin without a
problem (Used genkernel, and the stage 3 tarball). I installed xorg from
the x86 precompiled CD. Xorg -configure tells me --

"Xorg is not able to detect your mouse. Edit the file and correct the
Device"

Here's my hardware (I tried two different mice)

Got a P3 / 256 Megs of ram
PS2 mouse and Kbd
mouse 1 - M$ wheel mouse
mouse 2 - logitech 3 button
ati rage pro agp
plenty of hdd space

But, when I boot off the live install cd, i can move the mouse and the
ascii box cursor moves. And, the same hardware works with fedora, centos
(rhel), and (k)ubuntu. I also tried to run startx just to see what
happend, and it kicked out with a different error message.

"Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all
framebuffer devices"

This my first time installing from a source distro. Debian was a pain to
configure X, so maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks!
