Okay.  Just in  case, what say 'grep "^(EE)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log' 
and 'grep "^(WW)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log'.  And better not snip things 
that may seem irrelevant.

And the output of 'locate *xk*de'.  (If you don't have locate, 
'emerge slocate' and 'updatedb', then the command again.)

You're saying that for the upgrade from xorg-6.8.2 to 7.0 you didn't 
remove the /usr/lib/X11/xkb dir?  You didn't follow
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml ?

You probably found http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-426483.html 
and http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113108 by now.

So try:

# ln -snf ../../share/X11/xkb /usr/lib/X11/xkb

You mean you waited until modular xorg-7.0 went stable?

You mean you tried modular xorg-7.0 when the ebuilds were still 
marked as unstable?

You mean that the problem remained after you downgraded to 
xorg-6.8.2?

Do you mean that you reinstalled xorg-6.8.2 again?  Or that you 
reinstalled the whole of Gentoo?  Please be more precise in your 
descriptions.

Anything new on this?
