Since this was a gargantuan update on my part, I, of course, ran revdep-rebuild immediately after the emerge --update --deep world Then I ran etc-update and checked all the files. I boot into console so there's hardly anything at all there in /etc/rc.conf no log in /var/log/everything/, nor in dmesg. Whatever it was it has to be userland. All I know so far is from /var/log/Xorg.0.log which tells me that X died on SEGV, and a line in the console where I started X from that reads something like "Enlightenment caused a seg fault". Right now I am running X with $ xinit > Xerror 2>&1 to see if I can capture the entire stderr that was printed (some floated off screen so the only thing I saw was effectively that enlightenment was bad). Question: During the update, there were 2 or 3 packages that I wasn't able to update due to sandbox violations. I've been intending to check into that later on this week. Those were dependencies of mplayer and were not, as far as I know, dependencies of enlightenment or X. I am hoping that those aren't the packages.
