Exactly. > Grant, try to reemerge firefox (and if You haven't done it already the > x11-drivers/*) I re-emerged them with no change. I do think it has to do with x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel though. I've had this problem in the past, and the solution was to mask >x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.7.1. Unfortunately, those drivers don't work with the latest xorg updates and now I'm on xf86-video-intel-2.9.1. My wife has an identical laptop with the same issue. - Grant
