Hi all, You'll probably think this is dumb, but what can I say? I'm a bit anal is some respects! :-)
Today, I updated my desktop system and recompiled a new kernel. Afterwards I re-emerged alsa-driver and ati-drivers. The update solved an issue with not being able to turn off or reboot the computer when I selected either from the menu on KDE logout. Everything is working fine once KDE is launched. When I recompiled the kernel, I decided to trim it down some. I use genkernel and mostly have left all the defaults in there except for the pertinent parts for the alsa-driver and ati-drivers as outlined in the associated Gentoo Guides. However, since this is a desktop machine, I figured it was safe to remove stuff associated with laptops, so that's what I did. Anyway, the problem is not that things aren't working. It's that something is happening differently and it's driving me nuts. Up until now, when the computer boots and goes through its startup routine, the screen will "blip" and then the text that is scrolling by on the screen prior to starting the gui interface, reduces in size. Now, the screen still does a slight "blip", but the screen font remains the same size as it was prior to the "blip". I have no idea how to fix this behaviour. If someone knows and can provide direction, I would appreciate it. Regards, Colleen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
