xorg 6.8.2 builds fine, but when I try to run it, it crashes with several of the following type of messages: Symbol firegl_PM4Alloc from module /usr/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o is unresolved!

I forgot to mention that, following the resolution in another bug, I rebuilt xorg with USE="dlloader" but that did not have any effect.
emerge -vp ati-drivers xorg-x11 please

dllloader should be disabled.
I rebuilt it without dlloader, but the result is exactly the same.
Anything else that I can try? I would really like to get beyond the command line :)
emerge -vp xorg-x11 and at-drivers now and please attach your .config and your dmesg log how did you produce the xorg.conf?

I have not created a xorg.conf file. I am trying to run Xorg -configure. I tried creating one by hand, but ran into the error and tried the -configure route. No matter what I try, I still get the unresolved symbols.
Is there anything that I can try here? I can't believe that this computer is simply incapable of running xorg.
The same problem with ati-drivers-8.12.10 freezing the system on a P4 x86. The thing is, for some reason they have been marked x86 stable but they are far from being stable! I believe this package should be marked "unstable" instead. Why can't ATI ever write quality Linux drivers for their cards? I am beginning to deeply regret buying an ATI graphics card. Should have gone for Nvidia instead and avoided all that grief.
You should use fglrxconfig to produce the xorg.conf file.
Have you tried: 1) Re-merging ati-drivers 2) emerge -uavDN world 3) The newer (~x86) drivers
Do you use the synaptics driver? I had the same problem after upgrading to xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2, but it worked after remerging x11-misc/synaptics.
Please verify with 8.16
I have this same problem with ati-drivers-8.18.6. Previous drivers were working fine but I get this same problem with them now too. Never had problems until the upgrade.

disable the dlloader for now please
Disabling dll loader will have no effect since the previous ati-drivers were working fine and I havent rebuilt xorg.
Well I rebuild xorg-x11 with USE="-dlloader" and now it works. I find this odd though since the previous drivers worked with +dlloader and I never had this problem before upgrading drivers.
I'm still working on the new driver, hopefully I'll port the relink hack soon (in the mean time xorg .99 support added)
*** Bug 128959 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I have reported a similar problem (see bug #128959). I have emerged xorg-x11 with +dlloader and -dlloader (details see my bug report). This does not help. What is the actual solution to this bug?
Closing ancient bug. File a new one if something like this still happens.
