Compiles ok here:

When emerge/compile fails you need to post the whole build.log
Use wgetpaste,check then post "Your paste can be seen here:" link.

I spent quite a while figuring out how to get tab completion to work in sftp, so I figured I'd document it here. I had to enable the libedit flag for openssh. My /etc/portage/package.use file now contains this line:
Your problem is you don't want to read documentation, you just want the 'magic commands' given to you, some in this thread have tried to help you, but you either ignore or don't give the information requested appropriately,
You make it possible by not reading documentation, and clearly having little idea of what you are doing.
This kind of un-polite request won't get you any much help.
Not following advice and the issuing random commands as root wont get you anywere, there's no point in executing synclient if you are not inside an X session, you haven't even posted your .xinitrc or what desktop enviroment or window manager you are trying to start, and you seem to be doing everything as root, why are you installing X if you haven't even created a user, if you follow the install guide you should have your own user before even be thinking of a graphical environment.
Also that uname and the snippet of kernel configuration you posted makes me think you might be running this from a chroot, are you?
Read the documentation before asking, and make good questions, not just ' under startx, after a new install ', without giving information about your system and logs, 'under startx' doesn't even makes sense. If you want help one shouldn't be doing heuristics to figure out what's really happening on your system.
The amount of threads asking for help you have posted to this forum just for getting your first install done, tells you don't have the knowledge of a linux system, required to maintain a source based distro, you should try learn first using a vm or spare hardware(for a source based distro at least have 2 cores and 2GB of ram with swap), take your time to learn about the linux base system, and then you can run funtoo or gentoo as a server or workstation, if you don't have the experience to quickly trouble-shoot simple problems like the ones you have posted any source-based distro will just be maintainace pain for you, the packages in gentoo and funtoo are very vanilla, and many packages require configuration to work properly after install( that's not saying they won't work).
I've read in this forums funtoo can be a distro for noobs, but I strongly disagree, just learning basic shell, file system concepts and hierarchy might take a day for some people, and that desn't cover 'basic unix', so if you are a noob unless you have a week and lot's of time to read, you wont be able to make a proper installation of gentoo or funtoo, you might get something working by just coping commands from the install guide but that will soon become a nightmare to maintain.
I've been a regular user of Funtoo for a couple of years, and of Sabayon Linux for several years before that. In that time, I've managed to cobble together a few ebuilds for software which released new versions instead of waiting for the package mantainers to do it; nothing with enough quality for the proper portage tree, but enough that I don't have to go around the system and install outside of Portage. Likewise, I've managed to cobble together a few "clever" scripts that automate boring/difficult jobs, such as rebuilding the package.use file when I mistakenly overwrite it instead of adding a new line.
The question is, which part of the Forum should I post these kinds of things?
