Latest attempts:
changed my profile from desktop to desktop/gnome.
rebuilt udev
rebuilt virtual/udev

This fixed the keymap error, but Xorg still failed the same way.

rebuilt xorg-server
rebuilt xorg-drivers

This did nothing too.  Again, I'm no developer, just a user.  I'm not 
that savvy about any of this, or Gentoo in general.
By "rebuilt," I mean emerge -tav <package>.  I saw that on a web page 
and it seems to be how to uninstall/reinstall stuff.

Looking through the Xorg logfile isn't spelling out the problem to me. 
There's no easy way to cut/paste or even dump that whole file here.

I'm contemplating wiping everything and reinstalling Gentoo from 
scratch.  I'm not sure if that would make a difference.  I'll ponder 
that for a while.

Adios,  DW
