I just upgraded to xorg 7.3, but it cannot be launched ; whatever the xorg.conf, I get this error : Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/TTF/, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/OTF, removing from list! process 11356: arguments to dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block() were incorrect, assertion "(error) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((error))" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 3171.

I'm seeing the exact same error. X hangs hard however, so I have to reboot every time. The same error as previous poster is found in the old logs after reboot. My hardware is a macbook with intel integrated graphics. I have tried recompiling as much as possible of the xserver deps, , thinking that it may be an abi issue. Next step is trying "emerge -e xorg-x11" to get it all (well, I suppose I'll edit out gcc,glibc,glib).
