Gentoo!!

Finally got Gentoo working!! Yippee!

1. Got everything working and kernel booted nicely after half a day staring at Kernel Panic.
Note:
- Need SCSI emulation to get usb drive working
- Need to build in the network card in the kernel. Yes, I know ... Du-uhhh! I missed it during the first few times compiling the kernel.
2. Installed xorg
3. 3D-Acceleration, dri, drm glxgears whatever did NOT work with the radeon module although they did say that it should work with ATI RADEON 9200.
- Took many MANY times of configuring and compiling the kernel before it finally got into my thick skull that the open source driver just did not work.
- Finally installed the ati-driver. Voila... worked beautifully. Yes, I never learn...
- Remember to add :
###
Section "dri"
Mode 066
EndSection
###

so that normal users can use 3D acceleration also.
