[gentoo-user] Gentoo on Laptop: 2 problems
Hello, I've been installing Gentoo on an IBM Thinkpad T43 and, while I've been able to get a mostly working machine, I need some help for fine tuning: First (but not very important): I can't get the system to use a domain name. The domain name is correctly written in /etc/conf.d/domainname, but typing domainname returns (none). I can set the domainname with domainname name of the domain but this does not survive a reboot ?! Second, I can't set the power managment in KDE's Control Center because ACPI was probably enabled, but some of the sub options were not. I used Genkernel without using --menuconfig so I checked and it looks like everything has been compiled as modules. Now my question is: should I recompile a kernel with the ACPI options compiled into the kernel, or load the modules? Thanks for any hint, Thierry -- The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Now my question is: should I recompile a kernel with the ACPI options compiled into the kernel, or load the modules? If you have the modules then load them in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 Cheers, Renat -- Probleme kann man niemals mit derselben Denkweise loesen, durch die sie entstanden sind.
