Samsung X20 XVM 1730 V

Introduction
This is a work-in-progress howto guide to installing Gentoo on a Samsung X20 XVM 1730 V.

Please feel free to contribute here ;-)

The basic installation of gentoo is the same as described in the handbook. We will go into detail for some specialities later.

WLAN
See this Iwlwifi.

Graphic
For the right installation of the graphics related drivers see Intel GMA.

As mentioned above the resolution is 1400x1050.

Cardreader (build-in)
I tried a lot but at this kernel stage it is not possible to use the MemoryStick reader, maybe a later kernel version will support it. SD cardreader works quite normal.

For installation see SD and MMC card readers (tifm section).

Powermanagement
To use powermanagement functions activate the ACPI support in the kernel config.
