I prefer to emerge $( qlist -IC x11-drivers/ ), this makes sure all relevant drivers are being re-compiled. Or emerge @x11-module-rebuild if you are running the new portage. But as you write there are no errors in Xorg.0.log, this cannot be your problem. Rename your .kde4 directory, or try to log in as another (new) user. Let's see if this is a system-wide issue, or some KDE config screwup. Wonko
