After changing my USE flags and doing a successful "emerge -e world", and running revdep-rebuild, my Xorg now crashes the system entirely when run (or at least I think it does, keyboard, mouse, and screen become unresponsive, forcing me to cut power to my machine to restart it). It doesn't matter what is running in Xorg, it crashes for everything. It was running fine before the "emerge -e world". I have attached every log that seems relevant to the issue (my Xorg.0.log, "emerge --info" output, and the output of "dmesg" after rebooting the system and logging in). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change USE flags 2. Run "emerge -e world" 3. If needed, run "revdep-rebuild" 4. Reboot 5. Run Xorg 6. Experience immediate system crash. Actual Results: My keyboard, mouse, and screen become unresponsive, forcing me to cut power to my machine to restart it. Expected Results: Run the Xorg environment without crashes.

Created attachment 199246 [details] My Xorg.0.log, recovered after crash & system reboot.
Created attachment 199248 [details] The output of "dmesg", after crash & system reboot & login.
Created attachment 199249 [details] Output of "emerge --info".
My personal bet is on INVALID. Did you read the upgrade guide ? You didn't tell what exactly got upgraded, but this report, combined with your xorg log, sounds like a common configuration problem, that many people had during xorg-server 1.3 to 1.5 upgrade. On the other hand, ~amd64 done that move long (as in months) ago. But anyway, first try 'emerge -1 xf86-input-evdev'. If that works, add 'evdev' to INPUT_DEVICES.
Remove ccache from your FEATURES and rebuild the following packages : emerge -1 libdrm xorg-server $(qlist -IC x11-drivers/) mesa Thanks
I won't be responding to comment #5, since comment #4 hit the issue on the head. After making sure the HAL daemon was running, emerging xf86-input-evdev, adding "evdev" to INPUT_DEVICES, and reemerging Xorg, the issue was fixed. This is interesting, since the system was installed 2 days before the "emerge -e world", with a up-to-date portage tree. My Xorg didn't upgrade (I'm running version 1.6.2-r1), and I had "hal" in my USE flags both times. I actually think this is a bug in the ebuild, because I didn't have the HAL daemon running the first time I installed Xorg, but I had it running when I did the "emerge -e world". This leads me to believe that the ebuild automatically disables HAL functionality in Xorg if it finds that the daemon isn't running during compile time, regardless if you have the "hal" use flag. This theory needs conformation, though, as I haven't looked in the ebuild.

My preferred subject would actually be hal-info. The newer hal configuration files will use evdev for mouse and keyboard drivers. Obviously that doesn't work without xf86-input-evdev installed
