It dies after the cursor shows up, spitting this backtrace and output.
Sorry if the formatting sucks. The last line is probably refering to the
fact I tried to run it from within screen, so if that could cause a
problem say so, and tell me how the heck to get a log of this output
(since startx > log.txt doesn't work)

I've brought this to #x (or xorg, whichever the X support channel in
freenode is), #linux, #gentoo, and the forums. I'm at a bit of a loss as
to what the problem is, or how to go about trying to find out what is
the problem.

If I read this correctly, it appears that it can not find the keyboardor something. This is what makes me think that: "The XKEYBOARDkeymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Warning: Multiple names for >keycode 211".


In your make.conf, do you have a line that is something like this:

INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"

Also make sure you have something like the following in your xorg.conffile:


Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier     "Keyboard0"
   Driver         "kbd"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier     "Mouse0"
   Driver         "mouse"
   Option         "Protocol" "auto"
   Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
   Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

This may not have anything to do with the problem but it is somethingthat didn't look right to me.

Nah, that's not the problem, aas you can see here; "Errors from xkbcompare not fatal to the X server"
