Check if you're using a graphics driver that needs its modules |
| 10 |
recompiled after a kernel upgrade or else it either disables |
| 11 |
acceleration or falls back to the VESA or FB driver (slow). |

I never needed to do 'make oldconfig'. After emerging a new kernel, I |
| 22 |
do "make menuconfig" (or xconfig (Qt) or gconfig (Gtk)) and everything |
| 23 |
is already configured like the currently running kernel. I think this |
| 24 |
requires the following options enabled though (General setup): |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
<*> Kernel .config support |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
[*] Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I think it's on by default. |
