Well, your /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks fine, but the log shows that the glx module
was not loaded. Did you reboot after the emerge?
I suggest trying the following logged in as root -
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.2D
cd $home
/etc/init.d/xdm stop
From the console -
X -confgure
vi/nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- Change - /dev/mouse to /dev/misc/psaux (or whatever
your favorite is)
- Comment out "load dri"
Then do (X will tell you what the proper command line is at the
end of configure) -
X -file /root/xorg.conf.new
If X comes up, exit out,
cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg/conf
/etc/init.d/xdm start
You may need to change or add a mode line to get the resolution
you want
and add a - "DefaultDepth 24" to - "Section "Screen""
But it should load glx with no problem.
