Everytime my X server is started, X causes a segfault. KDM continues to run, but the X server crashes every time. I am not sure what caused this to start, whether it was a specific package upgrade/install or not. I restarted my computer because I had to change electrical outlets and next thing I know I have no X session starting. I have tried both the prorietary nvidia drivers and the open source nv drivers and I receive the same result. This is easily reproducible for me, all I have to do is try to start X and I get this error. I am including the relevant output of dmesg, /var/log/messages, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and emerge --info as well as the contents of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Let my know if there is any more information I can provide.

Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
the "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console" line is a result of me doing this over ssh so I can paste it in the bugzilla. I get the same output from a virtual terminal running either as root or as a regular user.
Please add to your package.keywords xorg-x11, xorg-server, all your drivers, mesa and mesa-progs, so you can test 7.1.

Created attachment 96020 [details] /var/log/Xorg.0.log (Xorg 7.1.1) It didn't seem to work, this is the error I receive in dmesg: X[26444]: segfault at 00002b530fdb1dc4 rip 00002b530f911745 rsp 00007fff9d837fb0 error 4 and in /var/log/messages: Sep 4 17:12:56 scylla kdm: :0[26285]: IO Error in XOpenDisplay Sep 4 17:12:56 scylla kdm[26281]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly Sep 4 17:12:56 scylla kdm[26281]: Display :0 cannot be opened Sep 4 17:12:56 scylla kdm[26281]: Unable to fire up local display :0; disabling.
Since you have a decently fast system, I'd also recommend you run 'emerge -e xorg-x11', which will rebuild X and its requirements. Are you running a framebuffer at all?
No, i'm not running any framebuffer currently. I will try the emerge -e xorg-x11 and see what happens
Created attachment 96839 [details] /var/log/Xorg.0.log(2006-09-12) Sorry I took so long but it would seem that rebuild the entire dependency tree for xorg-x11 did not work. I am posting my Xorg.0.log so you can see it, but i still get these errors: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x71) [0x48bea1] 1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x2b45ae9595d0] 2: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so(EvdevAxesNew+0x6e2) [0x2b45af63a0e2] 3: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so [0x2b45af638457] 4: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so [0x2b45af639343] 5: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so(evdevNewDriver+0x39) [0x2b45af639469] 6: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so [0x2b45af638248] 7: /usr/bin/X(InitInput+0x17a) [0x45eafa] 8: /usr/bin/X(main+0x337) [0x430f27] 9: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x2b45ae947134] 10: /usr/bin/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0xa1) [0x430339] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11.

Created attachment 96840 [details] strace -f of 'startx' Also, I don't know if this helps at all, but I posted the output of strace -f startx
Give the new evdev revision (1.1.2-r1) a try. It may fix your issue. Re-open the bug when you've done so.
