emerge --info

After upgrading to: 285.05.09-r1
my dual screen started to flicker randomly but for a long amount of time which makes it unusable. I tried the unstable version too: 290.06
but no better. Going back to the latest stable one: 275.09.07
Fixed the thing. I dunno where to start for helping you out but you can always ask some information (more than the `emerge --info`).

Looks familiar.

I tried again with the latest (and stable #394399) nVidia drivers 290.10 using xorg-server-1.11.3, xorg-drivers-1.11. The problem is still there.

Any ideas Jer? Can you retest with the latest X and latest nvidia-drivers?
Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-22 22:07:20 UTC 
Best bet since this is happening in the closed portion of the driver is to run nvidia-bug-report.sh and e-mail the output along with a description of the problem to linux-bugs@nvidia.com
