Hey, I found something interesting... /boot/config

What do you think? I also think that this more or less confirms that the kernel is getting compiled, and it is working... but now it's a problem with KDE. I'll try opening Gnome in a xnest window and seeing if my battery monitor works then. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
