14 Two things:
15
16 1) I think there are path differences in my xorg.config files between
17 64-bit and 32-bit. If you copied your xorg.config from the 32-bit
18 world you might need to modify those by hand.
19
20 2) Invest in a copy of modules-rebuild. (It's free and in portage.)
21 Double/triple/quadruple check that it gets set up with all the xorg
22 drivers, video drivers and other things that need to be rebuilt for
23 each kernel rev. Sometimes I've had problems simply because something
24 didn't get rebuilt. Common problem for me on change overs like this.

26 Hope this helps,
