I recompiled x11-drivers:
emerge $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)
but it doesn't help

If radeon fails vesa should be able to startx but it doesn't

Comment 1 Joseph 2012-07-09 00:19:50 UTC
I've tried to downgrade to xorg-server-1.11.4-r1 but I'm still getting the same error: Segmentation fault
Comment 2 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2012-07-09 00:32:03 UTC
Please attach Xorg.0.log with the entire call stack.

If possible, please also build xorg-server and xf86-video-ati with debug compiler flags (-g) and get a stack trace through gdb.

It appears that you don't have KMS enabled. Please configure your kernel according to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml and see if the problem persists.

I've recompile xorg-server-1.12.2 and run: emerge $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)
with make.conf changes:
CFLAGS="-march=amdfam10 -O2 -pipe -ggdb"
FEATURES="collision-protect parallel-fetch strict nostrip splitdebug"

but I'm not sure how to run it though gdb:
gdb /etc/init.d/xdm restart 
is not producing any result. Hot to run them thorugh "gdb"?
Comment 6 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2012-07-09 01:11:30 UTC
The UMS code path is not maintained any more and will be removed from the driver in the next release. I suggest to try KMS first before debugging further.

If X does not immediately crash on start, you can run gdb and then attach to the PID of the running X server (best do that via ssh).

If it immediately crashes on start, then you can either enable core dumps and load the /etc/X11/core into gdb, or launch X from gdb (without gdm).

Thank you, it appears that was it?
cat .config |grep KMS
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y

Why did it worked prevously without KMS?

The only down side after I enabled KMS is that during booting kernel poses for 1min or longer after:
- Switching to clocksource tsc

Is the a way to run it without KMS?
Comment 8 Joseph 2012-07-09 01:48:53 UTC
Got it: the 1.5min delay is caused by Radeon looking for firmware:

[    1.740141] Switching to clocksource tsc
[   61.920149] r600_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/R600_rlc.bin"
[   61.920229] [drm:r600_startup] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!

Which binary should I emerge to get rid of this message?
Comment 9 Joseph 2012-07-09 02:27:21 UTC
Solution: 
emerge: x11-drivers/radeon-ucode

in kernel .config:
Device Drivers:
- Generic Driver Options
  [*]   Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary                                                              
       (radeon/R600_rlc.bin) External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary 
       (/lib/firmware) Firmware blobs root directory
Comment 10 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2012-07-09 10:08:44 UTC
Good to hear it worked. Not that all the firmware configuration is described in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml too.
Comment 11 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2012-07-09 10:09:06 UTC
er, I mean "Note that..."
