Have you tried a generic video drive to see if the problem is really related
to video/kernel? Whenever the video was going crazy because kernel
modules/settings/xorg and driver change, I just switch to VESA and see if it
works as it should. Then I can blame video drivers. VESA and no xorg.conf

My first impression of grub2 was PAIN.
In a foolish attempt to "beautify" my Desktop, I thought about installing a
clean framebuffer logo for boot, and, why not, beautify the bootloader too.
Gosh, 2 hours spent in an effort to configure, useless. I don't remember the
exact error, but an hour of trying and I quit. Well, it messed the whole
boot, so it took me twice the time spent on configuring to get rid of the
thing.
I never realized how happy I was with simple grub. Gosh, I even missed LILO

I don't think the error is portage related, the steps that the OP mention
where things freeze are config/compile. If it wasn't a virtual machine, I
would suspect cpu throttling, overheating or even memory corruption. Those

Maybe trying a manual compile, just to exclude portage as a player... You
could monitor IO and CPU and see exactly what process is resource hungry.

AFAIK, SVG has a future. Adobe's SVG, on the other hand, seems broken.
My router firmware (Tomato) uses SVG for graphics and everything work
fine on Firefox. That SVG example from Adobe's site doesn't work. You
can safely assume they're using SVG in a way only THEIR plugin would
read.
Reminds me of PDF, where Adobe completely broke standards, I have
some PDFs that every other PDF Reader I could install, even online

So, even if sync removes it from the tree, you can move it from /var

I agree. One of my systems NEEDS acpid configured and running else the
processor would just thermal shutdown on me (freezing before it,
sometimes). I would just try and emerge cpufreq stuff and down the
frequency (that, of course, if memtest exclude your ram). I say that
because a well configured system will throttle the CPU before
overheat, and cpuburn should run on the newly installed Gentoo to be

stem" is part of "world", an "emerge -e world" would recompile
every single package, along with all dependencies, a full system
recompile, if you, for instance, change your CFLAGs to a generic one
before it, at the end your system would be prepared to be used with a

of glitches with rendering some pages, its probably the
webmaster's fault, but FF2 works with them, so I switched back. Also
it is a little less memory and CPU hungry, but not that much. And, in
my EEE PC I use a LOT of extensions that make my life easier, and like
50% of them do not work on FF3.
I'll switch when FF3 is as good (for my personal use) as FF2.

In fact, gmail recognizes it as a mailing-list (even offering special
commands, like filtering email from the list). I never got any list
message marked as spam in Gmail. Thunderbird did it, a lot, like many
clients and webmails I tried.

ng at the panel is awesome, as it lists all
wireless connections, and also deals with wired networks. Its a "must

Asus EEE.
Just sharing some user experience.
