Ok, I've got a room full of old iMacs that need to repent from OS9. The
decision has been made to try Linux in stead of OSX for various reasons
that don't need to be discussed.

After Mandrake's installer failed on me a few times, I switched to Gentoo
and have a quite stable setup going. There is only one problem, when I go
into x-windows, there are rendering artifacts on the screen. Xterms won't
display correctly, etc... but I have a nice looking gdm login screen...

Thoughts on how to correct this? My x config is very no-frills and the
problem exists in multiple color depths, so I'm out of ideas for the
moment.
