Please post your "emerge --info" and attach your xorg.conf (in case you're using one) and the .config file of the kernel this happens with.

Hi! I have the same exact problem. System is almost the same with some addicional updates that appeared after this bug was reported. This is a fresh system install so I didn't had X working previously.

Comment 7 Carlos Silva 2009-08-19 12:36:17 UTC

just tested with vanilla-sources-2.6.31-rc6 and it works. so this is a kernel bug and a patch already. going to try to find out which one patch made it work.
