I'm using slim as a login manager and I have a problem on one of my x86 and one amd64.
They don't show any 'username / password' only graphical picture; when I type anything into the login box nothing is echoed to the screen.

The strange part is that two of my amd64 working correctly after upgrade.
command:
Code:
slim -p /usr/share/slim/themes/slim-gentoo-simple/
doesn't show any 'username' text either.

Solved.
This is a problem with xorg-server-1.14.3
Downgrading to x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.4-r1 solved the problem.

I'm using 1.14.3-r2 and it works fine with that for me. Glad you got it sorted anyway.

Yes, it worked fine on two of my boxes but I think it is not compatible with all drivers. See:
http://packages.gentoo.org/package/x11-base/xorg-server
1.14.3-r2 - is blocked.
