I'm a bit confused by this. It may or may not be your problem, but it is
certainly wrong. "WITH_GALLIUM" is support for AMD graphics and is not
appropriate to either Intel or nVidia graphics. And, even for AMD graphics,
you also need "WITH_KMS=".

I'd suggest that you build the relevant X ports with only WITH_NEW_XORG.
That means:
graphics/libGL
graphics/dri
graphics/libEGL
graphics/libglesv2
X11-servers/xorg-server
X11-servers/xorg-nestserver
Any X11-drivers you use.
(Note: You may not have all of these on your system and you don't need to
add any you don't have.)
