Hi Maixm- |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I have just (first full boot with X this morning, actually) gotten my wife's |
| 27 |
eeePC 900A switched over to Gentoo. I have a full install with kernel |
| 28 |
2.6.29, X (1.6.1), Intel drivers (with DRI2, enabling *very* smooth and fast |
| 29 |
compositing), full KDE 4.2.3, WiFi and Wired ethernet, Firefox, Openoffice, |
| 30 |
NetworkManager, and all the usuals, all in a 2.7GB disk footprint, and |
| 31 |
without doing any compiling on the eeePC itself (I used my Core2Duo ~amd64 |
| 32 |
Gentoo box to do all the heavy lifting, then made a bootable 4GB SD card |
| 33 |
with the resulting FS - will move over to internal 4GB SSD once I've put the |
| 34 |
final touches on it). I have full eeePC hotkey support (except for an issue |
| 35 |
I've found with the rfkill (Wifi radio on/off) functionality - the HW (PHY) |
| 36 |
refuses to power back up once it's turned off. I believe it was working in |
| 37 |
the original Xandros, so I'll probably be doing some kernel hacking to get |
| 38 |
it working). If you would like, I can take some time this weekend and write |
| 39 |
up how I went about doing it and post it - interested? |
