I've hard-masked hal and dbus (and pam) in /etc/portage/package.mask
and X runs OK.
From your messages, I assume you've got some ATI card. What exactly
is it? As root, can you run... "lspci -v > xyz.txt", and find the
section in xyz.txt relating to your video card? If your system doesn't
have lspci, "emerge pciutils". It's been my experience with ATI that
you may find 2 "cards" listed, so look carefully. Here's what my Dell
D530 shows...
