Now it's different, but not fixed.
I revised make.conf to say -mcpu=ev56
emerge --unmerge xorg-server and the nv,fbdev, and vesa drivers I
installed. After I emerged all that back, Xorg -configure still failed
with a number of screens does not match the number of devices error, but
it does write an xorg.conf.new. That does not work, of course.
Now a simple starx brings up a graphics screen with three terminal
instances started, but the computer is locked up.
For a lark, I --unmerged the keyboard, mouse, and evdev devices. I did
the same to xterm, just in case. Emerged them back, but no difference.
I originally emerged the whole xorg-x11 package. That took so long, I
went directly to xorg-server for uninstall/reinstall. I hoped that
would be enough.
My methods seem relatively brutal and ignorant, but I don't know any
better.
Adios, DW
