The issue isn't just with X-org. |

I'll try Justin's suggestion as soon as I get a chance. |

Per X.org though, I was trying to follow one of the HOWTO's on it...I'll have to try that out as well though after regenerating the world file. |

No, the portage tree is just fine. |

Sounds like you emerged xorg-server, which gives you the ... Xorg Server :-) |
| 41 |
|

To get everything else, you should have installed the xorg-x11 package. It's |
| 43 |
a -meta package whose sole purpose is to install a bunch of other packages. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
To check if your portage tree is wonky, run emerge --sync |
