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
