Actually, my laptop is a Dell. To answer your question, I had build |
| 28 |
acpi into the kernel prior to trying to emerge xorg-x11. However, I |
| 29 |
didn't change any of the default selections that were there when I ran |
| 30 |
genkernel --menuconfig all. The think I didn't do was emerge acpid and |
| 31 |
adjust the settings as per the instructions in the ACPI Guide. I'm |
| 32 |
going to try this now to see if that fixes the problem. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Another thing, there was a choice to build Dell laptop support into the |
| 35 |
kernel and I selected this. Hopefully, that isn't 'causing anything |
| 36 |
"quirky". |
