NOTE: because this is a new install and X doesn't work cutting and pasting information is a little tedious. For example emerge --info is not included yet (but will be if necessary). This is about a new install in the ~amd64 branch. Since it was completed a few days ago all the latest stuff is included like GCC 4.1.1. The problem is that 'X - configure' crashes and thus does not generate and xorg.conf file. I hesitate in experimenting with xorg.conf files from scratch; moreover, suddenly an 'atimisc' driver appears out of the blue and I have no idea whether this is the cause of the problem. Please check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file included for details.

I am also having this problem. When I run X -configure: Backtrace: 0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x94) [0x481154] 1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x3937c854d440] 2: /lib/libc.so.6(memcpy+0x52) [0x3937c8593132] 3: [0x720f20] When I use a config file that I borrowed from another machine: Backtrace: 0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x94) [0x481154] 1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x2ae68d065440] 2: /lib/libc.so.6(strlen+0x40) [0x2ae68d0a8ad0] 3: X(xf86XVScreenInit+0x831) [0x494891] 4: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so(KaleidoscopeInitVideo+0x8a) [0x2ae68e1f83ca] 5: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so(R200ScreenInit+0xc51) [0x2ae68e1cbec1] 6: X(AddScreen+0x1fe) [0x43302e] 7: X(InitOutput+0x21f) [0x4663af] 8: X(main+0x2a8) [0x432938] 9: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe4) [0x2ae68d052674] 10: X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0xa2) [0x4320fa]
