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.

And, if you just upgraded X11, did you recompile the evdev driver?

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.

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.
