[edit] Audio

Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

[edit] Kernel modules

Relevant module would be snd-hda-intel with Realtek HD-audio codec support, actual codec is Realtek ALC268.

Compile ALSA as module and append following lines to your /etc/modules.d/alsa:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=acer

Then run 'update-modules' to generate modprobe configuration.

[edit] Ethernet

Marvell Yukon 88e8039 PCIE (sky2)

Works without problems.

MR! wiki tag your it! your turn! lol i fixed my half now lets better integrate em! eh? i'd help ya with glx/compiz stuff but im currently using fluxbox and quite happy without it ps hit me up on #gentoo or #gentoo-chat --jimiridge pss thanx for the kernel.conf we gotta chat it up on irc sometime

[edit] Todo

1. Compiz still not working
2. Improve bootup (debug errors listed and speed up)
3. Fix wireless to auto connect appropriately

jimiridge - Great job on the wiki-ness! I wish I had more experience in that area (one of the reasons I am working on this project). I have been really busy recently (my wife and I just had a baby) - so not much work done on my computer in the last week or two. At any rate, I cannot commend you enough on how you made this page look! I'll keep updating as I can. --MR

1. hotkeys
2. more details on devices and corresponding kernel settings
3. make it more pretty (wiki page) i think i came back to gentoo just cause this wiki page ;)
4. maybe compress things like one heading for make.conf except several calls to it? i dunno hows the format look to you?
