If i ever get my brand-new gentoo install to work with PCMCIA correctly i'll report on that. I do not have this issue with Nautulus or GMC (however i do have a problem that sometmes i get stuck with the "drag and drop" mouse pointer and have to switch to another console to kill -9 gmc or nautulus - i assume that is a backbox or xmms issue). I use default optimization flags for PII in make.conf. |
