I am not experiencing any gray block (I do experience some garbage squares in the bottom-right of screen when the kernel is not configured to use the proper framebuffer devices, but that's normal I guess), so my problem was unrelated. I have no gray blocks when switching to VTs, although sometimes when logging out from X the screen goes all black and I can no more get a VT (I think this is unrelated too).

I do have a VGA output but couldn't yet test it; my problem was a software problem (xfwm4 and gtk+), I am currently using the intel driver (whose package is errenously labelled as "i810" on gentoo) with my 855GM and everything is fine.

Best regards
