I also have a Fujitsu Lifebook S760 laptop, and video Just Works in 
Gentoo. And it worked from day one, i.e. since February 2011. Thus the 
request to test the latest kernel from git looks rather bogus to me. 
2.6.39 should be sufficient, and my gut feeling is that some other 
package is at fault here.

One obvious difference is that Ubuntu and Fedora (who has a duplicate 
bug) use Plymouth, while Gentoo doesn't. To test the theory, could you 
please remove the "splash vt.handoff=7" parameters from the kernel 
command line?
