I've got my netbook basically set up to do what I need, |
2 |
but there are 3 problems remaining, which seem to be fairly basic bugs. |
3 |
|
4 |
(1) I've already mentioned the problem of compiling Lm_sensors. |
5 |
Dale refered to Bug 282261, whose conclusion seems to be |
6 |
to try the latest testing version 3.1.1 , which I will do tomorrow. |
7 |
|
8 |
(2) Fluxbox is working nicely, as it does on my desktop machine ANB3, |
9 |
but I thought I'ld have a look at Xfce, which looks nice in SystemRescue. |
10 |
Xfce opens as root, but not as user ! -- there have been lengthy debates |
11 |
in the Arch forum, which seems to be a different world from Gentoo (smile), |
12 |
but nothing seems to have been resolved. It ought to be a permissions error, |
13 |
but there's no sign where it might be happening. There's an error msg |
14 |
"Module fbcon not found", but that may not be the real problem. |
15 |
|
16 |
(3) Dillo "can't start dpi daemon" (no such problem on ANB3). |
17 |
I can't find anything sensible & have no idea what that daemon mb. |
18 |
|
19 |
Does anyone have any suggestions ? |

|
21 |
Otherwise, I've installed Gkrellm (incl a battery monitor), Gvim, Feh, |
22 |
Xpdf, Xcalc, Gnumeric, Mirage, Ristretto & Lynx (from its own source); |
23 |
also Thunar (its site tells how to reduce the size of its font) |
24 |
& Terminal (Xfce, same author), which also cb fine-tuned for the netbook. |
25 |
|
26 |
As I said in another msg, I'm very impressed both with the ASUS netbook |
27 |
& with the power + ease of Gentoo to install a customised Linux there. |
