Framebuffer: Device Drivers - Graphics Support - VESA VGA Graphics Support - VESA Driver Type: vesafb-tng - VESA Default Mode: 1280x768@70

Kernel Modules: Character Devices - /dev/agpgart Support - Intel 440... Character Devices - Direct Rendering Manager... - Intel 830M...

[edit] Miscellaneous

SMBus:

I2C

[edit] Networking

Wireless: emerge ipw2200 it fails delete kernel built-in 80211... emerge ipw2200 (again)

emerge wireless-tools

emerge wpa-supplicant (if you use) wpa_supplicant -Dwext

Wired: b44 driver from the kernel, works fine

Modem: Haven't given it a try yet.
