Just a quick suggestion: did you enable 'evdev' in your kernel ?

Firstly, error lines in the Xorg.0.log start with (EE). Secondly, most
aren't entirely meaningful without the context around them. With the
information we have in your mail here, none of us is likely to to
divine what the source of your issue is. Given the whole Xorg.0.log,
we might be able to see something, though.

Have a look at this previous thread:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/224058

I suspect that you were using /etc/rc.conf to define a DE/WM to handle
your Xsession and this configuration file is no longer used by Gentoo.

Ah, yes.

What we have here boys and girls is the old "I tell Xorg I don't have a 
keyboard or a pointing device and yet I still expect Xorg to function 
correctly" trick ....

Aha! The problem's found, now. The full Xorg.0.conf made me suspect
it, but that output makes me certain. What window manager or desktop
environment do you use? The quick and dirty resolution to your
problem, at least for the current user you're logged in as, is simply:

For Fluxbox (as a simple example that I know works... and only because
of the error you received am I assuming this file doesn't already
exist):
echo exec startfluxbox > ~/.xinitrc

And... many other redundant examples of the same principle.
Alternatively, its looking for twm and friends tells me that it's
trying to run the default from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ... which means
you don't have a preferred session defined. While it *used* to be
defined in /etc/rc.conf is now 'properly' defined in /etc/env.d/, as
is discussed in this thread:

http://www.linux-archive.org/gentoo-user/294751-rc-conf-no-longer-used-gentoo-baselayout-1-12-13-a.html

That, of course, is why Mick asked about your use of /etc/rc.conf
around here somewhere.

Also, as an aside, to have X still "work" in such an instance (while
still not giving you the environment you want), don't build xinit with
the minimal use flag. Without that use flag, it depends on xterm, twm,
etc... which would then not be missing, and in turn would allow X to
start a client rather than closing back to the terminal, where it
looks like an X problem rather than a Session problem.

That last line is the problem this time, very different from your
previous post.  I don't know why X can't fine xterm.  Do you have
/usr/bin/xterm on your machine?  If not, install x11-terms/xterm-250
and try startx again.

Actually, I believe all those "disabling" messages are just X shutting
down... he gave the error messages he gets at the terminal in another
mail here, which show that he's failing to start any clients (gmail
didn't thread that one in with this line here for me, and likely
missed it on your end too).

What is you're xorg error output? What contains the /var/log/Xorg.0.log? 
My suggestion is check the Xorg.0.log for errors. Every line that 
contain error start with (EE) or  similar.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear in my previous response ... 

In all likelihood your problem is that an update in baselayout broke your 
startup script - the /etc/rc.conf file is no longer sourced.  Check the 
previous thread that I gave you for solutions, or just set up your ~/.xinitrc 
file by copying your normal Window Manager start up script from 
/etc/X11/Sessions/<whatever> to your your user's .xinitrc.

HTH.

I bought a new hard drive and was just installing Gentoo from scratch
for the first time in 5 years, and I ran into this problem.

I'm guessing here, but I think my problem was with the current version
of "The X Server Configuration HOWTO", the document suggests
installing the xorg-xserver package instead of the xorg-x11
meta-package because:

"Note: You could install the xorg-x11 metapackage instead of the more
lightweight xorg-server. Functionally, xorg-x11 and xorg-server are
the same. However, xorg-x11 brings in many more packages that you
probably don't need, such as a huge assortment of fonts in many
different languages. They're not necessary for a working desktop."

However, it also does not install twm, xclock, or xterm so I was
unable to verify that X was actually working until I installed xterm
as suggested in this thread.
