Say what?  Me, chip in on hal?  I want to bury the thing.  Phooey on 
chipping in. 

If it is hal, put this in package.use

x11-base/xorg-server  -hal

After that, re-emerge xorg-server and it's little friends if needed.  
Make sure you still have your old faithful xorg.conf file in place.  
Restart X and hope it is working again.

To think I would chip in on hal.  Phh!  lol
