Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
You'll probably think this is dumb, but what can I say? I'm a bit anal |
| 4 |
is some respects! :-) |

Today, I updated my desktop system and recompiled a new kernel. |
| 7 |
Afterwards I re-emerged alsa-driver and ati-drivers. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The update solved an issue with not being able to turn off or reboot the |
| 10 |
computer when I selected either from the menu on KDE logout. Everything |
| 11 |
is working fine once KDE is launched. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
When I recompiled the kernel, I decided to trim it down some. I use |
| 14 |
genkernel and mostly have left all the defaults in there except for the |
| 15 |
pertinent parts for the alsa-driver and ati-drivers as outlined in the |
| 16 |
associated Gentoo Guides. However, since this is a desktop machine, I |
| 17 |
figured it was safe to remove stuff associated with laptops, so that's |
| 18 |
what I did. |
| 19 |
|

Anyway, the problem is not that things aren't working. It's that |
| 21 |
something is happening differently and it's driving me nuts. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Up until now, when the computer boots and goes through its startup |
| 24 |
routine, the screen will "blip" and then the text that is scrolling by |
| 25 |
on the screen prior to starting the gui interface, reduces in size. |
| 26 |
Now, the screen still does a slight "blip", but the screen font remains |
| 27 |
the same size as it was prior to the "blip". |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I have no idea how to fix this behaviour. If someone knows and can |
| 30 |
provide direction, I would appreciate it. |
| 31 |

Regards, |
