19 My wife has the same problem with her computer running Gentoo, but I
20 generated the xorg.conf file from X -configure when I first installed
21 Gentoo on it for her, but her screen still flickers. Is there any way
22 to find out what drivers would need to be installed (if the drivers are
23 the problem)?
