Did you upgrade your kernel and remove the older one?

I followed the Portage Introduction in the wiki to update my install. In particular, I ran this update command:
Code:
# emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse world


If so did you run this afterwards?

Try unmasking a gtkhtml 4.4.*, that g_thread_init call should be fixed in the newer versions.

Your code:

Hi all,

My xorg won't start, it just quits without errors. I'm rather clueless, any help is appreciated system info below.

same problem here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-724793-highlight-.html .

I have the same problem with kernel > 2.6.25. But I don't mind not having the latest kernel.

So you could try 2 things:

1. downgrade the kernel
su -
echo "> sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.25" >> /etc/portage/package ...

It can be done as long as your graphics card supports it. google it. Lots of information there.
"dual monitor", "twinview"

If you have ati, you can even have aticonfig do it for you (nvidia has something simular I guess).

powernowd is for controlling your cpu. Have you got some really high cpu usage? check with top. That could give some problems.

Could you also post to see if the right drivers are installed?

check if you are using the kernel agp If so try disabling it (as ati recommends). That was the source for my noise.

else try as said with a "clean" xorg.conf (I don't think xorg guesses fglrx, not sure though)
