Hello,
I emerged latest available version of Xorg and my problems started.
Before update i used xorg with fglrx witout any problems.
After update when i try to start x, my system hangs-up on splash screen and i must make power reset.
I don't find any problems in logs.
On root account x starts and works but i don't have 3d support for my card.

Latest version of ati-drivers won't install because there is some incompatibility problem...
Anyone can tell me what to do to make xorg stable and bring back 3d support? My graphic card is ati firegl x1.
Or - how to downgrade xorg?

If by the latest version of Xorg you mean 6.8.0 or 6.8.1, then you'll need to downgrade. The current ATI drivers aren't compatible with 6.8.0, and they haven't released a fixed version yet. To downgrade, run
Code:
emerge =xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2
