Hi all!
New to Gentoo, just followed the handbook install for amd64 and then
for
XOrg.
I'm seeing the server segfault on 'startx'. Here is the console
output (and I've attached the logfile).

Any ideas? I can't figure out why kernel modesetting isn't working
(the newer versions of Linux don't have explicit modesetting config
items
and the framebuffer drivers are totally disabled, as per the install
docs),
but the larger problem is that segfault. Any ideas on how to even
start
to address this?

Few extra missing details.
Which GPU are you using? I see both Intel and ATI.
Can you provide your kernel config.
Which Video drivers did you build with xorg?
lspci and 'lspci -v' among other hardware discovery tools might help you
get the firmware and exact kernel options needed for your kernel
built correctly.
I always put the video codes into the kernel, but some have success with
setting up those codes, via a loadable modules.
other tools:: 'lshw'
