Kernel config
Using gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r2

Sound
You can also activate "Support digital beep via input layer" but it's very annoying in my opinion.

Video
For an easy 3D support you can simply use the proprietary driver provided by NVIDIA. 180.* series work fine.
 * 1) emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers

Wifi
The open sources iwlagn driver need a proprietary firmware to work :'(.


 * 1) emerge net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode

In Linux 3.2+, the "iwlagn" modules is renammed to "iwlwifi". You also need >=net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode-8.83.5.1
