Is it possible that you need to change some USE flags or xorg.conf since 
those are removed?  I don't know if this applies or not but lines like 
these:

INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
LINGUAS="en"
LANG="en_US"
LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"
SANE_BACKENDS="hp"
NUT_DRIVERS="cyberpower"
ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1"
#CAMERAS="canon"

are not picked up by the -N option.  If you changed one of those, you 
may have to research to see which ones need to be emerged again, IF you 
changed any of those.  Also, check the log files.  You should have one 
in your user directory and one in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Other than that, I usually do a emerge -ev world and that should fix it 
for sure.  Actually, do a emerge -epv world and see if anything in the 
USE line or those listed above are changing.  Look for the percent sign 
and color changes.

Hope that helps.
