Hi Dale,

Somne shots into the dark:
I am running a non-kde and non-gnome Gentoo here (Openbox is my
friend) and after upgrading X nothing works.

I rtecompiled openbox, lxpanel and the X11-drivers like
xf86-input-keyboard, xf86-input-mouse. nvidia-drivers and
everything was ok.

Try to recompile the x11-drivers and the kde equivalent of the
window manager (I dont know much about kde/gnome...sorry ;) )
and may be X11 will be you friend again...

HTH!

Keep hacking! and have a nice weekend!
