Hmm, do you still have an xorg.conf file or changed settings in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d? If you have, can you post it please?
I think it is related to the
'SubSection "Device"
Virtual xdim ydim'
setting but I'm not sure. In any case, if I were you, I'd try running
without any xorg.conf and see whether auto-configuration can handle it.
Oh, and if you are still on x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.*, please try
x11-base/xorg-server-1.8.2 with USE="udev -hal"
Hope this helps,
Florian Philipp
