t60p GNU/Linux installation part two: (2006.12.27:2 tech_notes#324 t60p_gnulinux#3)

Gentoo install functioning. Notes:

• 1] Followed advice from sites below for e1000 (wired) and ipw3945, ieee80211 (wireless) module installation post-kernel.

wired untested. wireless working

• 2] Unmasked ati-drivers and extras with:

echo "x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

using fglrx in xorg.conf but no hardware OpenGL as first complained of lack of fglrx_dri.so in /usr/lib/dri - made this directory and copied across but no luck (undefined symobols there) - to be fixed

• 3] Sata enabled in kernel and driver is sata-piix
• 4] ALSA untested. No /dev/dsp as didn-t compile in OSS emulation

unrelated: to check out clfswm Lisp window manager
