Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile V5535

Overview
lspci -nn

Installation
There were some issues during install:
 * Ethernet and wireless cards did not get recognised. Installation used an usb wireless stick.
 * There were some issues the wireless card (Atheros AR5006EG), opting for the x86 installation instead of amd64 although they may be already solved by now.
 * The hard disk was not recognised by the gentoo live CD. Another live CD was used for the install (SystemRescueCd, based on Gentoo). This may be already solved by now.

Ethernet
The patch for the SiS191 driver is now included in the 2.6.24-r4 kernel.

Note: The following steps were written for old kernels without the patch. This is kept for historical reasons as an example on how to solve similar issues.

There is a patch solving this issue (see this thread) that will be included in the kernel. Meanwhile, you should download the Francois Romieu's patch from the thread and save it in /usr/src/linux. Apply the patch and recompile the kernel.

Following these directions the 2d driver works quite well.

The driver can be obtained by contacting the author or following the links in this post. There seems to be a 3D driver, see this post. Some more threads about this driver:
 * SIS 671 XOrg driver

These are the relevant parts of xorg.conf for a resolution of 1280x800 and being able to control the screen with x11-misc/sisctrl. DRI is disabled as it is not possible to have it with this card.
