reiserfs and fbsplash? Aww, you shouldn't have

I'll try it out once my "emerge -e world" finishes (stupid GCC4-retarded packages...)

Can you include the DSDT patch in a future release? It sure does make fixing stupid ACPI issues much easier. Thanks!

(Haven't run my computer on this just yet)

Hm. Just a warning to those who might have these modules installed from portage:

realtime-lsm is already in no-sources, just enable the option in the config and unmerge it... or turn it off and use it from portage. Just be sure to enable only one, I'm pretty sure the one in portage doesn't check to see if it's in the kernel.
alsa-driver (even the latest masked release) does not compile for me. Use the in-kernel ALSA, which probably works fine anyways.
sys-fs/fuse won't compile the kernel modules for me... the in-kernel modules should probably be fine, but I'll see about that when I reboot. However, you do need to to have fuse emerged for the lib (and don't worry, this ebuild checks to see if you have it enabled).

As for the other kernel modules I have, svgalib, madwifi-ng, and kqemu built fine. Madwifi will probably work, I never got svgalib to work properly, and I never took the time to see how well qemu worked.

EDIT: Okay, so this edit is made from a VAIO portable computer running on 2.6.17-no2! Well, I re-merged x11-drm before rebooting, and I'll do it again, since DRI doesn't seem to be working. Booting was pretty erratic (like, it'd boot 1 in 5 times) with RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP set to "yes", so I changed that when I finally got it booted (not a surprise, ck-sources did this for me as well). However, fbsplash and reiserfs seem to work like a champ so far. I'll see what I can do about direct rendering now....

EDIT2: Uh, just to make things weirder, now the Xorg log says that it loaded DRI just fine and everything... but it still doesn't work. And I didn't change anything, I just rebooted.

EDIT3: Well, I'll just sleep on it. I'm a bit too tired to try and figure it out right now. note: X and KDE loaded in a freakin' hurry. I like

EDIT4: Ah. It was something I thought I had tested, but it turns out I hadn't. Everything I want works! Next project: conversion to Reiser4 (and shrinking my swapfile to something more reasonable)!

Quick, question on boot things seem to hang either on setting terminal to ascll mode or loading reiser4. I've left the default for staircase but I changed the io scheduler to anticipatory. I've also enabled the reiser4 & reiserfs debug mode in the kernel (not sure if thats my problem). I've ran the fsck.reiser4 things are consistent and there are no errors or warnings on boot other than it hanging. I'm in the process of moving so hopefully I can get everything setup and working properly before I have to pack my computer up. Thanks.
