Does it work with no xorg.conf(.new) file?
If I delete /root/xorg.conf.new and run Xorg -configure again, it creates the file again and gives the same result. Here is the file (/root/xorg.conf.new) it produces: http://gentoo.pastebin.ca/2310626 With the startx command, things go differently: I type startx at the console, the very first message it spits out is xauth: file /root/.serverauth.2375 does not exist then follows the output found in the /var/log/Xorg0.log file, ending in [ 131.627] (--) using VT number 7 [ 131.683] (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled. [ 131.683] (EE) No devices detected. [ 131.683] Fatal server error: [ 131.683] no screens found [ 131.683] (EE) The console appends the following: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file. xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xinit: server error Here is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for that session http://gentoo.pastebin.ca/2310624

Not very surprising, is it? :) Any particular reason you want to create a xorg.conf file at all, let alone using Xorg -configure? From the startx log file: > [ 120.944] (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" > [ 120.962] (==) No Layout section. Using the first Screen section. > [ 120.962] (==) No screen section available. Using defaults. > [ 120.962] (**) |-->Screen "Default Screen Section" (0) > [ 120.962] (**) | |-->Monitor "<default monitor>" > [ 120.980] (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section". > Using a default monitor configuration. Looks like you have files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ which might be interfering.
> Not very surprising, is it? :) Any particular reason you want to create a xorg.conf file at all, let alone using Xorg -configure? I did because using startx alone doesn't appear to work. If using the startx command gives no result, what are you supposed to do? The previous revision of xorg-server (1.12.1) used to work without an xorg.conf, but once I upgraded to any version above it (1.12.4, 1.13.1 or 1.13.4), X no longer starts. /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ contains one file, 10-evdev.conf Here is its content: http://gentoo.pastebin.ca/2310648
I renamed the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf ran startx again, same result. Here is the Xorg.0.log http://gentoo.pastebin.ca/2310652

Can you try isolating which particular change between 1.12.1 and 1.12.4 stopped X from starting for you? Note that it could be a Gentoo specific change; e.g. your log file has some default configuration stuff that I don't remember seeing before. P.S. Please attach files here instead of referencing external sites.
The problem is that xorg-server 1.12.1 (which worked) has been removed from portage (gentoo's software catalog) so I can't go back to it anymore. I updated the system, skipping xorg-server but some updated librairies caused breakage and revdep-rebuild (gentoo's reverse dependancy breakage-resolver tool) detected and fixed a break by updating xorg-server. So any version > xorg-server 1.12.1 has this same problem. There was an issue on x86 and amd64; when upgrading from xorg-server 1.12.1, GDM would break because of (missing) old accessibility features but this doesn't appear to be the case here. What other info can I provide?
You should take it up with the Gentoo folks to isolate what triggered the problem.
