Well, your /etc/X11/xorg.conf  looks fine, but the log shows that the glx module
was not loaded.  Did you reboot after the emerge?

I suggest trying the following logged in as root -

        mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.2D
        cd $home
        /etc/init.d/xdm stop
        From the console -
                X -confgure
                vi/nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
                        - Change - /dev/mouse to /dev/misc/psaux (or whatever 
your favorite is)
                        - Comment out "load dri"
                Then do (X will tell you what the proper command line is at the 
end of configure) -
                        X -file /root/xorg.conf.new
                If X comes up, exit out,
                        cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg/conf
                        /etc/init.d/xdm start
                You may need to change or add a mode line to get the resolution 
you want
                and add a - "DefaultDepth 24" to - "Section "Screen""
                But it should load glx with no problem.
