dear xfree86 mailing group,
i wrote a couple of days ago that i wasnt succeeding in getting x to run. i have now succeeded and am happily writing this email from the dillo browser in a fluxbox environment. however, functionality is somewhat reduced due to the fact that xterm and all applications dependent on it refuses to run. when i click the xterm button, there is simply nothing happening. 
however, when i exit X, i find a load of error messages waiting for me. 
the one about xterm reads so:
WARNING: xterm: error 32, errno 2: no such file or directory
REASON: get_pty: not enough ptys.

i am running gentoo linux with a 2.6.1-gentoo kernel, and i have put a 1024 in the field about the unix98 ptys when i compiled my kernel. any help would be appreciated, thank you.
