I just managed to get Gentoo installed on my Presario v6420 which is the
first laptop I've ever had linux on and I've got two problems that I
thought I'd ask the list about:
The most important of the problems involves the fan. The laptop gets a
whole lot hotter using linux while compiling than it did using vista while
compiling which implies that there is some fan control missing from my
install. What sort of ebuilds/apps should I be looking at to solve the
problem?
sys-apps/lm_sensors
You need to have a kernel which supports your mainboard's and CPU's
sensors. With the fancontrol daemon, the fan will be controlled by
software using user-defined temperature rules (for example, 30C=40% Fan,
40C=50% Fan, 50C=70% Fan, etc.)
I've also noticed two seperate clipboards. One, using the usual middle
click button and another using shift-insert. These clipboards are
different in what they paste... Anyone know more about this?
This is a feature, not a bug ;) That way you have a temporary clipboard
as well as a main clipboard. I don't know if it can be disabled (since
I like this feature and therefore never bothered to check how to turn it
off :P)
