I run a pretty stable system. I do however run ~x86 for KDE and Gnome.
Something changed recently in an "emerge -Davu world" or "system" that
causes X to not start anymore? The Xorg log below doesn't have any errors or
warnings or anything. There are no unresolved symbols as the message says. I
did notice that glib was updated, but the "3242-glibc-2.3.5.log" doesn't say
anything interesting. I ran "rm -rf /root/.revdep-rebuild.*; revdep-rebuild
-av" and that said I was golden, it didn't re-compile a single thing.
One of the things we just discovered on this list is that newer versions
of KDE are trying to use things like the Composite extension, and it is
causing problems for some people (slowness was the previous case).
Some things to try:
1. Disable Composite.
2. Disable DRI.
3. Try the x.org "nv" driver instead of "nvidia".
Depending upon whether and which one of those work, you will have a
place to start from on more debugging.

I usually use 'meld' (x-windows) for my etc-update, so I do have some files
that need updating, but they don't seem that they should affect X??
Probably not...more likely opengl or composite is causing the problem for X.
