Few extra missing details.

Which GPU are you using? I see both Intel and ATI.
Can you provide your kernel config.
Which Video drivers did you build with xorg?



lspci and 'lspci -v' among other hardware discovery tools might help you
get the firmware and exact kernel options needed for your kernel
built correctly.

I always put the video codes into the kernel, but some have success with
setting up those codes, via a loadable modules.

other tools:: 'lshw'

My log has;
# grep -i kms /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[   303.319] (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled.
[   303.393] (II) AMDGPU(0): KMS Pageflipping: enabled

# zgrep -i kms /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER=y

So try enabling those and rebuild and reinstall your kernel.

Other than that, when you update xorg you also need to 'emerge
@x11-module-rebuild' afterwards, but unless you've been emerging things out
of order that's probably not this issue this time. If you're not sure, just
do it anyway if its still broken after the kernel update.

I have had a single instance where I needed to rebuild xorg due to suit a
new kernel, but that was a long time ago.
