That's a really bad idea. If the driver is there, and Allan didn't rememeber being the one that put it, something else did, and it will probably do it again. > This helped considerably.

If you don't have it, try to set it up to nouveau: VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau" Also, what's the output of "equery l -if x11-drivers/"?
