I tried to start an interactive boot, but the kernel didn't respond to the "i" I hit (of course, hitting it on the laptop keyboard works like a charm). I read thoroughly http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/usb-guide.xml and http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=79, but all usb/hid configuration was already in place. > Secondly, the new monitor.

I lowered the resolution, increased the refresh rate and turned the resolution back to its maximum and the flickering "disappeared". However, nvidia-settings doesn't allow me to increase the frequency with the maximum resolution, which practically means I have to redo the steps mentioned every time I restart Xorg.
