1 I'm having a problem getting X to work. It is seg faulting on me, and
2 despite countless revdep-rebuilds and emerge -e world, it still doesn't
3 work.

5 It dies after the cursor shows up, spitting this backtrace and output.
6 Sorry if the formatting sucks. The last line is probably refering to the
7 fact I tried to run it from within screen, so if that could cause a
8 problem say so, and tell me how the heck to get a log of this output
9 (since startx > log.txt doesn't work)

64 I've brought this to #x (or xorg, whichever the X support channel in
65 freenode is), #linux, #gentoo, and the forums. I'm at a bit of a loss as
66 to what the problem is, or how to go about trying to find out what is
67 the problem.
