What video driver (and have you tried vesa if not using it to see if the problem can still be reproduced)? All x11 related drivers were rebuilt too? Output from the xorg logfile and your xorg.conf may be helpful. Maybe there is other relevant output to the console that X is launched from. Maybe a different problem, but I had trouble with keyboard input not appearing (and all of the X screen freezing; no blinking clock). It would come back with touching the mouse, and freezing was also caused by using the mouse. The trouble appeared back when "AllowEmptyInput" was discussed in the ports UPDATING file, but that no longer seems to work right (nor does DontZap) in my xorg.conf. I found things worked right by stopping hald before launching X.
