As you can log in remotely but get a segfault when logging in locally,
could it be one of the PAM modules (one which is called for local login
and starting X but not for ssh remote login) is segfaulting?
No, in my case I have a "radeon" card and the xorg was looking KMS in the
kernel.
cat .config |grep KMS
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y
After enabling KMS some might notice 1.5min delay when booting after kernel
display the message:
Switching to clocksource tsc
Solution:
emerge: x11-drivers/radeon-ucode
in kernel .config:
Device Drivers:
- Generic Driver Options
[*] Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary
(radeon/R600_rlc.bin) External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary
(/lib/firmware) Firmware blobs root directory
Run "dmesg" to see exactly which driver is the kernel looking for.
In dmesg after: Switching to clocksource tsc
you will see the driver name.
