Hmm, ok.

Not sure what is going here.  The backtrace starts from some font
handling functions, but I don't see anything significant in your log
that points to a font issue.  And the backtrace itself doesn't seem to
make any sense.

On my system (using modular X with the nvidia 8178 driver), an strace
of the X server shows that the input devices are initialized almost
immediately after the GLX initialization completes:

13611 write(0, "(II) Initializing extension GLX\n", 32) = 32
13611 open("/usr/lib/xserver/SecurityPolicy", O_RDONLY) = 11
13611 fstat64(11, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2925, ...}) = 0
13611 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb6651000
13611 read(11, "version-1 \n\n# $Xorg: SecurityPol"..., 4096) = 2925
13611 read(11, "", 4096)                = 0
13611 close(11)                         = 0
13611 munmap(0xb6651000, 4096)          = 0
13611 time(NULL)                        = 1143686197
13611 write(0, "(II) Synaptics touchpad driver v"..., 53) = 53
13611 write(0, "(**) Option \"Device\"", 20) = 20
13611 write(0, " \"/dev/input/event1\"", 20) = 20

This leads me again to think that there is a problem with the input devices.

Have you tried doing a revdep-rebuild?  Have you verified your
'eselect opengl' settings?  What use flags did you build with (emerge
-pv xorg-x11 xorg-server)
