[PD] laptop linux

[Ed Kelly]

Hey Derek

  Once again, I write, and somebody else is doing so at that very moment!
  I shall try gentoo, and the flags, but the graphics thing will still stop me if I can't find a solution (see last posting about p(i)d(i)p).
   
  Thanks for your advice,
  Ed

It seems to have a lot to do with what compiler flags you use:

Maybe there's still some hope with compiling your whole system with 
custom flags under Gentoo?

Looks like with GCC >=3.4 you could use the -march=pentium-m flag.
