Hello all

I am about to install Gentoo on laptop for first time.I use gentoo-sources
on desktop but I would like to know is there maybe something better for
laptop? Also, I would appreciate if someone could give me some of yours
make.conf's you use on laptop. Thanks

gentoo-sources is fine for laptops. What do you have in your laptop that 
makes you think some other patches will perform better?

Someone else's make.conf is not going to help you much, it's way to 
customized for each machine. You could start by copying the one you 
already have on your desktop and working from there. It's what I do, 
the only things I change are the arch and the cpu-specific USE flags 
(things like mmx, sse)

If you need advanced hibernate and suspend functions tuxonice-sources are
fine too.

tuxonice-sources, which is gentoo-sources plus the tuxonice
suspend/hibernate patches.

I read the default site: http://www.tuxonice.net. 

Interestingly, I found this dysfunctional url using 'eix tuxonice':

http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches http://www.tuxonice.net


Any other locations where one can read up on this tuxonice,
gentoo style offering?

Although these sources have some potential, I still am unable to boot 
into linux when running on battery, on AC everything works fine.

Strange problem... but I would think it to be more a hardware problem. 
Did you ever tried to use a gentoo-source-kernel and experienced teh 
same problem?

I have abolutely no problem with the tuxonice-sources. booting, 
suspending, resuming: everything on ac or battery, no problem.
