Judging by the existing issues with this version of xorg-server this may be the worst one yet (but X running Gnome3 seems happy on the 3.4.5 kernel). I could only get gdm and/or an xinitrc gnome session to start up 2-3 times out of 10, and when it did start there were graphic artifacts with some of the menus, the terminal wouldn't start, etc. Mostly it just ends up at the shiny new "Oh no, there was a problem..." screen. So whatever it is that's edgey about the latest xorg stuff is much worse (on this hardware) with the 3.5.0 kernel. This happens on a new Asus quad-core AMD-with-radeon APU laptop, and as I said, it seems perfectly happy on the 3.4.5 kernel with the latest xorg and mesa: [IP-] [ ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.99.903:0

Can you get any logs or backtraces of crashes?
I have problems with the same combination. I can log in using xfce4 but I get a kernel panic when I run Firefox. If I run gentoo-sources-2.4.4 it works fine. If I run the new kernel with the previous xorg (sorry, don't know the version) the X fails to run claiming it could not find a device.

The screenshots seem to be broken.
To throw in another test case, absolutely no problems with the following setup: sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.5.2 x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.99.904 x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.3 media-libs/mesa-8.1_rc1_pre20120814 GMA4500 graphics that is.
Yeah, something didn't go well when I posted the screenshots. The URL in the file is correct though. I've had success with gentoo-sources-3.5.2. No crashes.
I'm closing this as you report everything is ok with 3.5.2. If you see this happen again in anything >= 3.5.2, please reopen.
