I can now start X via the

According to the freedesktop.org documentation, AIGLX has to do with
3D acceleration and is still under development, not supported for use
by the general public. They recommend for users of 2D acceleration
to put this in xorg.conf to get rid of the error message:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
Option "AIGLX" "false" <--------
If you want to try 3D accel at your own risk, they say, you need to run
their latest development libraries from git. I don't do that, so I don't
know if the gentoo packages include that stuff. Maybe someone else knows?
