This page contains additional information for installing Gentoo on a laptop computer.
Networking
- It's highly recommended to install the NetworkManager (it will be pulled as a dependency by emerging knetworkmanager) as it allows to easily connect to networks through a GUI. You can change networks easily.
Touchpad
- To support the touchpad the kernel should be configured with PS/2 mouse support and INPUT_DEVICES in /etc/make.conf should contain "synaptics".
- The xorg.conf file should have the following section:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "TouchPad"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
