[edit] Safe CFLAGS

This is a 64bit configuration that's working perfectly on the laptop.

File: /etc/make.conf
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=k8 -msse3 -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2
VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx"  << (or VIDEO_CARDS="ati" work good)
INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard"
ALSA_CARDS="atiixp"

USE="mmx sse sse2 3dnow X alsa acpi dri sharedmem <etc....[Add your use flags]>"

[edit] Configuration

[edit] Kernel

You can download a tested kernel .config here [1] It work for kernel <=2.6.26-r4

[edit] Broadcom WLAN

This laptop uses a Broadcom 43xx based wireless device.


[edit] Videocard ATI Xpress 200M

Now this card is supporded good by open driver, and by fglrx driver. You can choise between two options:

  • Use the open driver by enabling in make.conf VIDEO_CARDS="ati"
  • Use fglrx driver by enabling in make.conf VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx"

If you want the latest fglrx ati driver you must unmask ati-drivers package from portage.

[edit] CPU frequence scaling

The cpu frequence scaling work pretty with kernel builtin cpu power managment options and without powernowd daemon. See .config for more info.

[edit] Touchpad Driver

The driver for synaptics touchpad is this: 

echo x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics >> /etc/portage/package.keywords/synaptics

emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics

Use the previous xorg.conf and it work pretty ;)
