Several Questions

[BIGEE1212]

1) What do I have to enable in my kernel for my computer to recognize an external hard drive (Western Digital Passport)?

2) When I try to modprobe ipw3945
I get this error message
WARNING: Error inserting ieee80211 (/lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r8/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error inserting ipw3945 (/lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r8/net/wireless/ipw3945.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
How do I modprobe without an error message?

3) How do I change the overall font size in KDE? I changed the system fonts, but in select programs, the font remains small. It's a strain on my eyes considering my resolution is 1920x1200.

4) Printer Support?

5) The best program around for my TV tuner?


Hope these questions aren't too difficult... If you only know the answer to one or two, please answer them with the corresponding question number.

THANKS A LOT!

BTW GENTOO ROCKS>> JUST GOT KDE UP AND RUNNING !

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Other Things Gentoo. Not installation and didn't fit any other category, so moved here.
