Hmm. These have been helpful.
In make.config, I changed to
VIDEO_CARDS="r128 vga fbdev vesa"
and recompiled xorg-server.
I noticed that it had output that I tracked down to some ewarns in the
ebuild. But oddly, this package did not create an elog file in
/var/log/portage. I wonder why? Anyway, I've made a permanent note
of the "qlist -I -C x11-drivers" command for finding installed
drivers.
I recompiled all drivers, namely
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse
x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev
x11-drivers/xf86-video-r128
x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa
Now when I try "startx" it still has problems, but I appear to be
closer. On screen I see

Three things it cannot find: libglx, libdri, and module ati. I don't
know about libglx, but according to equery, libdri is owned by
xorg-server; so why is it asking for this module if it didn't build
with it? And I likewise do not know why it's trying to load "glx" or
"ati".
equery could not tell me what owns libglx. I could not remember how
to use portageq, and the --help message did not help much.
Nevertheless, it looks like I'm closer because it now sees a screen.
Any more clues out there?
