7 Well, somewhere deep in the BIOS peripheral settings, there are
8 things like "Enable AGP Fast Write" or similar. Set all those
9 things to Off or Disabled. You wil want stability first, speed
10 maybe later. It probably won't make a difference, but it at least
11 excludes one possible source of problems.

16 You've said you have an MSI K8M800 motherboard. Looking at
17 http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_list.asp?class=mb&cpu=3, such
18 boards only support "Sempron 2600+, 2800+, 3000+, 3100+, 3300+",
19 not a 2500+. This may not be a problem, but then again, it might
20 not be listed for a reason.

24 No "sse" USE flag? You could try adding it and re-emerging Xorg.

28 To confirm your exact CPU, 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'.
29 An 'lsmod' on this system under Gentoo.
30 An 'emerge -pv xorg-x11'.
31 A 'cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf'.
32 And 'grep "^(--\|^(WW\|^(EE" /var/log/Xorg.0.log'.
