gentoo on a toshiba tecra 8000

If both machines have the same hardware and the same version of Xfree86 then
the distro shouldn't matter.  You should be able to copy the x config file
from one to another.

> I'm trying to install gentoo on a tecra 8000.  I have it up and running
but X is giving me a rough time.  I know what video chipset is installed in
this laptop, but it doesn't show up as an option in the database list in
xf86config.  I have redhat 7.3 running on another tecra 8000.  Are there
enough similarities between Gentoo and Redhat from an X standpoint that I
can just copy the XF86Config from the redhat box to the gentoo box?  What is
the XF86Config-4 on redhat?  I've done a bit of reading on the XFree site,
but I'm still pretty confused as to how to build a proper XF86Config file
for this machine.  Any help greatly appreciated.
