I apologise for the delay.  Our x86_64 builder had a hardware failure
and I've been busy setting up a new one.

What virtualisation system are you using?

If it is KVM, Xen, or Qemu, then you probably want `xf86-video-fbdev`.

VirtualBox may also work with the fbdev module.  I seem to think it may
need a custom module, but I don't recall the exact method to build it.

Can you send the full Xorg.0.log file along?  We would be able to help
more with that information.

ConsoleKit 2 works pretty well, but you need to add the service to OpenRC:

# rc-update add consolekit default

And start it (or reboot, but that is IMO a waste):

# service consolekit start

Otherwise, applications trying to connect to ConsoleKit will sit for 20
seconds waiting for the connection before timing out, which is annoying.

Thank you very much for the kind words, they are much appreciated!
