Well, I could not even downgrade to 1.7 -- when I did and started gdm, I lost my keyboard -- I had to login from somewhere else and do chvt to get out. Maybe this was because of hal or something, not sure. I have in my backups an ebuild for 1.9.2.902 which seems to work in preliminary testing whereas 1.9.4 did not work at all with this kernel.
