11 This did nothing too. Again, I'm no developer, just a user. I'm not
12 that savvy about any of this, or Gentoo in general.
13 By "rebuilt," I mean emerge -tav <package>. I saw that on a web page
14 and it seems to be how to uninstall/reinstall stuff.

16 Looking through the Xorg logfile isn't spelling out the problem to me.
17 There's no easy way to cut/paste or even dump that whole file here.

19 I'm contemplating wiping everything and reinstalling Gentoo from
20 scratch. I'm not sure if that would make a difference. I'll ponder
21 that for a while.
