It generally shows itself with older architectures like AMD Phenom II, Bulldozer, Intel Core 2 etc. "-march=native" in the make.conf file was the culprit, IIRC, and replacing it with core2 or amd's equivalent option solved it. I, instead, put "-clang" in my package.use file, for firefox. No problem with Firefox builds since then.

It works fine at other res (including 2560x1440). Which connector are you using? HDMI output of your laptop is most likely limited to 2560x1600. I checked and many Latitude ultrabooks have a displayport (of mini variety generally) output. If you use that connector you may get the resolution you wanted (you may still need newer drivers). > The dell manual says to get new drivers and I am indeed running an old > kernel, 3.18.16-gentoo.
