Yeah, but you're going to have fun with the XFree and the ATI card.
I've had my machine for about 1.5 weeks now. |

If it's anything like the M680X laptop, you're going to probably
want to use the 'emachines' kernel on the 2004.0 release livecd.

Yes, work fine if you disable "Legacy USB Device" in the BIOS, and just for the install use idle=poll and nousb to the boot options.
And while there are a million views on CFLAGS, I have found these to work well, and the system is stable.
| Code: | | CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" |

Also use x11-base/xfree-4.3.99.902-r2
I use 1280x1024 as it is more responsive than 1600x1200.
if you use the font server xfs ( rc-update add xfs default ) you can use this XF86Config and you should only have to change the monitor section to match your monitor.

If you want 1600x1200 just add it to the Modes.

I did a fresh install last night due to I couldn't find a way to solve a few small and annoying problems. The good news is that I have ALSA working for the vt82xx, have to wait until tonight to see if the XFree 4.3.99 is working fine.
Rob, I hope you have been able to install gentoo on your machine. |
