Updated to recently-stabilized xorg-server-1.7.6. Rebuilt xorg-drivers as directed for new ABI; previously xf86-video-nouveau was no longer in portage, so I keyworded: =x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.15_pre20100213 =x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.20 =x11-base/nouveau-drm-20100316 X now fails to start; xorg.log highlights: (--) PCI:*(0:1:0:0) 10de:0391:1682:2220 nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GT] rev 161, Mem @ 0xfa000000/16777216, 0xd0000000/268435456, 0xfb000000/16777216, I/O @ 0x0000ac00/128, BIOS @ 0x????????/131072 […] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri2.so (II) Module dri2: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.6, module version = 1.1.0 ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 2.0 (II) Loading extension DRI2 (II) LoadModule: "nouveau" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so (II) Module nouveau: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.6, module version = 0.0.15 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0 (II) NOUVEAU driver (II) NOUVEAU driver for NVIDIA chipset families : RIVA TNT (NV04) RIVA TNT2 (NV05) GeForce 256 (NV10) GeForce 2 (NV11, NV15) GeForce 4MX (NV17, NV18) GeForce 3 (NV20) GeForce 4Ti (NV25, NV28) GeForce FX (NV3x) GeForce 6 (NV4x) GeForce 7 (G7x) GeForce 8 (G8x) (II) Primary Device is: PCI 01@00:00:0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:01:00.0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card1 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card2 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card3 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card4 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card5 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card6 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card7 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card8 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card9 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card10 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card11 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card12 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card13 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card14 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card15 drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card1 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card2 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card3 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card4 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card5 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card6 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card7 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card8 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card9 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card10 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card11 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card12 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card13 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card14 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card15 (EE) [drm] failed to open device (EE) No devices detected.

Created attachment 228787 [details] full xorg.0.log
I should also note I originally tried nouveau-drm-20100316 and xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.15_pre20100329 which resulted in a similar problem; I'll try that combination later to get more detail. I'm not familiar with how these libraries fit together, so any pointers or recommendations of things to try are welcome, of course.
Please also attach dmesg.
Closing as NEEDINFO. Please reopen the bug after attaching dmesg.
