Installation

BIOS Setup

You need to enable 32-bit I/O for the harddrive and Bluetooth/Wireless to use them!

Also, set a password for security!!

Partition Drive

Use Vista's Disk Management feature to resize your Vista partition if necessary. How to is here: http://vistarewired.com/2007/02/16/how-to-resize-a-partition-in-windows-vista/

Check out the PenDrive linux site to boot into linux from a USB drive. http://pendrivelinux.com/

The Ubuntu distro is recommended as it supports most hardware and reiserfs for those who use it.

Use gtparted to partition the drives.

There are already three primary partitions for windows vista. A 4 GB partition probably used for holding backup/installation files, the C drive, and the D drive. Delete the D drive partition and replace it with a 100MB or so ext3 boot partition. (/dev/sda3)

Then create a logic partition(/dev/sda4) to hold your swap(/dev/sda5) and root partition(/dev/sda6).

Follow the Gentoo Handbook for the rest of the installation.

Caution: Under the ubuntu live usb, the hard drive will be /dev/sda but it will be /dev/hda under Gentoo! (Please write why this is here, if you know).

The harddrive will still use dma with a proper kernel configuration so it should not be a problem. Just remember to write your /etc/fstab with /dev/hda

Config

Kernel

Although the 2.6.23 kernel is marked as stable, there is slightly better performance with the 2.6.22 kernel. This is a sample kernel config for 2.6.22

Hardware Setup

Ethernet

Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet works out of the box.

Wireless

It uses the rt73 drivers, but the rt2x00 ebuild doesn't compile correctly.

Download the daily cvs from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/ and compile it manually.

cd into the modules and run make && make install and it should work.

(remember to "modprobe rt73")

Note: If you don't see the green Bluetooth and Wireless icons on your display, you have to enable them in the BIOS.

Kismet

Just change the suiduser and source

File: /etc/kismet.conf

source=rt73,wlan0,rt73

Bluetooth

Works out of the box. Make sure you enable BT in the BIOS.

Emerge bluez-utils to play around.

One Seg TV Tuner

No support for linux

SD/CF Card Reader

Works.

Touchscreen

The touchscreen uses the Penmount 6000 usb drivers. The penmount ebuild doesn't build correctly.

TODO

Webcam

The webcam works with linux-uvc (media-video/linux-uvc-0.1.0_pre173 confirmed)

The webcam is Bus 005 Device 004: ID 05c8:0109 Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co., Ltd (Foxlink)

First unmask linux-uvc, then emerge

 echo "media-video/linux-uvc ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
 emerge linux-uvc

You will also have to fix the permissions so normal users can access it

 chmod o=wrx /dev/v4l/video0

Works great with Skype!

Multimedia Buttons

The Direction/Scroll/Mouse/Brightness buttons work out of the box.

Launcher/Shutter/Rotation buttons do not seemed to be recognized by the kernel.

You can get the volume control working by emerging xbindkeys and adding the file ".xbindkeysrc" to your home directory with the following

 "amixer sset Front 1+"
  c:176
 "amixer sset Front 1-"
  c:174o

Performance Optimization

Harddrive

DMA should be automatically set by the kernel.

You can add enable unmaskirq and 32-bit I/O for performance.

File: /etc/conf.d/hdparm.conf

hda_args="-u1 -c1"

Make sure you add hdparm to rc-update :

# rc-update -a hdparm boot

Attention: Make sure you enabled 32-bit I/O in the BIOS!!

Check out the hdparm article for more information.

Power Management

CPU Frequency Scaling

Emerge cpufrequtils and use cpufreq-info and cpufreq-set to change the cpu frequency governors.

Check out cpufreqd for automatic freq governor changing.

Backlight

The backlight "brightness" buttons work out of the box.

The screen is automatically dimmed when you unplug the AC and vice versa.

The screen will also automatically turn off when you close the screen.

Power Management

Check out Gentoo's Power Management guide http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml

Setting up acpid and cpufreqd to automatically change CPU governors can save battery life, and there is little performance decrease when using the powersave governor.

Automatic backlight dimming is already handled in hardware so there is no configuration required!

You should get about 2:30 hours with wifi on batteries.

Eye Candy

Compiz-Fusion

Compiz-Fusion works amazing! x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810 2.2.0 doesn't work as of 2007/12, mask it and use 2.1.1 instead.

Also, note that mplayer,webcam stuff, vlc, etc.. will not work due to a bug in compiz. Create a bash script with the following and run it as your normal user to get compiz going.

 sleep 2
 LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true compiz --replace ccp  &
 sleep 5
 emerald --replace &

uvesa

As of starting with gentoo kernel 2.6.23-r3 and vanilla 2.6.24, there is no more vesa-tng. It has been moved to a userland driver -> uvesafb. Check out the following link for how to install. http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/

Add the video line to grub title=2.6.23-r3 root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.23-r3 root=/dev/hda6 video=uvesafb:800x600-32,mtrr:3,ywrap
