12 Did you rebuild all xorg modules with emerge @x11-module-rebuild or
13 emerge -1 $( qlist -IC x11-drivers/ ) after building xorg-server?
14 Are there errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

19 You should use udev. All versions of xorg-server in the current portage
20 tree already no longer have the hal use flag, so I assume HAL is not
21 being used at all anyway.
