Thank you.
That might be it. I have exatly FX5700 card. Dont remember exactly what
X version does gentoo tries to install, but I think thats it.

My Moderboard has an integrated intel video card (hope that works with
4.3's thoug ;) ). I will try to see if I can get both living happyly 
together (integrated video is dissabled now)

Uhm. What else could I do if gentoo has not updated its version? 
I think I need to read a bit more on its portage...

Thank you again for the pointer.
