Hi all, I just installed my first gentoo server and I'm quite impressed, although I had to struggle a bit with my video card. I followed the instructions on the website and the machine boots up fine. However I noticed on my left side of the monitor there's a vertical line all the way from top to bottom and it looks like its flickering so fast, I don't know what to make of it. I never saw it during the install, and I chose hotplug since I'm new here.
My PC is a VIA EPIA (www.solarpc.com). Here's my dmesg, thank you.
