I've build gentoo-sources-2.4.20 as soon as they appeared. I tried to get back and use gentoo-sources-2.4.19 but with the same result. I use kernel-headers 2.4.19, my Grafic Card is ALSA GLADIAC MX based on Nvidia's GeForce 2 MX which is pluged into 4X AGP - chipset VIA KT133, processor AMD Athlon 850Mhz ... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emege gentoo-sources 1.use kernel configuration from above URL http://wiono.w.interia.pl/kernelcon.fig 2.make kernel and boot it 3.

did you recompile the nvidia kernel module and the nvidia glx ?
where are the fonts smudged ? in console ?
Fonts are smudged in console. Besides I've recompiled nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx
suggest to enable VESA FB support in kernel and pass vga= to your kernel. so, in .config CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_VESA=y see this forum thread for suggested modes you can send to your monitor: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=20626&highlight=
well, without more information, we cannot fix. please reopen if you have more info. Thanks, Jay
db fix
I enabled VESA framebuffer, added "vga=791" and now problem is solved
