Nomiinal Xor.0.log while message persists regular output in dmesg

I have started getting this as well.

This is a single-headed laptop running 64bit system running linux-2.6.38-gentoo kernel compiled with gcc 4.5.2 p1.1. [there are four outputs available I think but only one is connected.]

All components are from the gentoo x11 overlay (so they are fresh fetches from the git tree as of my last rebuild several days ago). I am not sure how to get the git signatures.

I am using gallium and i have disabled classic (since it wouldnt' compile as some files were missing form the git commit.)

My system has been up for a day, and the screen has been going blank and back (normally, e.g. blank screen saver) while there is full-blown KDE 4.6 running and a VMWare instance running in non-unity mode.

I was going to git fetch and rebuild but I figured that since the system is still running fine despite the message i could sit on the configuration for a while in case there is something I can collect for the devs...?

There are _no_ corresponding messages in Xorg.0.log. It's last message was the final messages of a normal startup, which in my case was

[  3747.106] (--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found

and that was quite a long time ago.

My system tempratures are all nominal (not that it matters)

Bonus Symptom: If I try to switch to VT(1) [e.g. ctrl-alt-f1] the cursor disappears but the screen doesn't switch. Keyboard input goes nowhere, but when I "switch back" [ctrl-alt-f7] the cursor returns and the keyboard comes back to life. Any attempt to go from VT1-non-func to VT2-non-func makes no differenc.

DMESG from two attmpts left this behind...

Note that the input paths in the alternate VTs are still good as I could blindly log in before switching back. from /var/log/messages:

Another possible contributor is that I have 'transparent hugepage' support active. I don't know it that could have glombed onto some mapping as I no idea how it really works 8-). I do know that the xorg shared mapping pages "seem to" count since the number of hugepage mappings was non-zero immediately after xorg started. (weak evidence, I know...)
