I just managed to get Gentoo installed on my Presario v6420 which is the |
| 2 |
first laptop I've ever had linux on and I've got two problems that I |
| 3 |
thought I'd ask the list about: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The most important of the problems involves the fan. The laptop gets a |
| 6 |
whole lot hotter using linux while compiling than it did using vista while |
| 7 |
compiling which implies that there is some fan control missing from my |
| 8 |
install. What sort of ebuilds/apps should I be looking at to solve the |
| 9 |
problem? |

Button #2 of the touchpad, which seems to be set as the upper right corner |
| 12 |
of the pad, controls paste (as in cut and paste). The button works great |
| 13 |
at first but then after a period, or it may be related to a heat issue, it |
| 14 |
stops working. Restarting X solves the problem. I have not noticed it |
| 15 |
failing with gpm but I have not stayed in console as long. Remapping |
| 16 |
works but I'd like some pointers on solving this problem. |

I've also noticed two seperate clipboards. One, using the usual middle |
| 19 |
click button and another using shift-insert. These clipboards are |
| 20 |
different in what they paste... Anyone know more about this? |
