That's OK, I'm not offering support, just interest.

...Which is the natural state for a Gentoo system.

I doubt that would work. It sounds like the driver's both changing
the chroma-key colour (GIF-like transparency colour) to black and not
clearing and/or disabling the video layer (Which is a seperate
hardware buffer, usually in YUV colour). If you take a screen capture,
you're almost certainly only going to get the graphics layer (Usually
RGB), where what should be black will actually be black.

... But not on one hand, 'cuz Gentoo's the kind if distro you could
lose a finger while installing.
