Slackers,
This post in multi pronged in that i need some help and i also wish to disscus some issues. First i have an Acer Ferrari 4005 but i have some issues with it on The Slack. the problems i have encountered and my trials to solve them thus far.
1. Bluetooth Mouse;
I have found this post on a Gentoo Wikipage where the following was posted
Quote:
== Bluetooth ==
The bluetooth module of this laptop is basically an USB device, hard-wired through a switch (front blue-light button) to the system's USB hub. To install support for bluetooth one shall emerge few packages starting with bluez- ("bluez-libs", "bluez-utils" and may be some others; if you don't know what to do, there is plenty of bluetooth related information elsewhere).
I would like to focus here on the following problem: the switch is off at boot time, so "bluetooth start" at boot time will fail with some stupid errors (unless you are fast to press the button). Instead, I made the following addition to the "modules.d" directory:
{{Box File| /etc/modules.d/bluetooth|
<pre>
install hci_usb /etc/init.d/bluetooth start ; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install hci_usb
remove hci_usb /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop ; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-remove hci_usb
</pre>
}}
Now, the bluetooth daemons are started not at boot time, but when I press a blue-light button first time (kernel auto-loads the bluetooth and hci_usb modules and causes "modprobe" to run "/etc/init.d/bluetooth start"). Don't forget to run "modules-update" after making this change. Strange enough, there are some noise messages in the system log, indicating that "bluetooth start" is called more than once. This affects nothing, but I expected it to be run once, somehow.

The information is true up to the point where i try to find my /etc/modules.d/bluetooth file but this does not seem to exist on my box even though i had recompiled a new Kernel and i did do bluetooth.
2.fgl_glxgears fails nicely with even though before recompiling to 2.6 it was fine and graphics seems okay...

3. Why is slackware not x64? I hear it is about the arguement that 32 bits apps will kill the gains?
Thanks for the help.
