I've got my new machine basically habitable with a few small problems. |

(1) In Fluxbox, Gkrellm insists on starting on Desktop 1 ; |
| 4 |
on my existing machine with the same config files, it starts on Desktop 8 . |
| 5 |
There must be some setting somewhere which has got changed. |

(2) Luxi Mono is not coming out cleanly in Gvim or (Xfce) Terminal : |
| 8 |
IIRC there's a pkg or a setting somewhere to fix it, |
| 9 |
but I can't find it in my extensive notes from the past. |

(3) I have 4 heat sensors in Gkrellm : 'k10temp' + 3 * 'it87'. |
| 12 |
Can anyone suggest which bit of which device each is measuring ? |

The AMD Bulldozer X4 FX-4170 4-Core 4,2 GHz is taking c 3/8 as long |
| 15 |
to compile eg Firefox or GCC as this machine's Intel Core2 Duo ; |
| 16 |
they also seem to be using less Portage tempspace on disk. |
| 17 |
The variable-rate fan is very impressive, ranging 2200 - 6800 rpm . |
