Hello Mates,

I have a new HP laptop i5, this came with Windows 7 pre-installed with HP
quickweb (a tool that let me skype, check my email and navigate Interne,
whitout loading WINDOWS).

I'm wondering if there any way to leave quickweb with gentoo, or windows +
quickweb + gentoo would be fine...

Also if someone has suceffuly installed gentoo in HP DM4-1190la please let
me know or a document of WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DO NOT WORKS would be fine.

Regards

I believe that HP are using Splashtop OS to achieve 'Instant-on' 
functionality, which is running an embedded Linux kernel from ROM, with 
bootsplash, squashfs, and blackbox as the main binaries.  Asus, Acer and 
others also joined in the fun.

Unless I got this wrong, the PC is essentially dual booting between the ROM 
resident OS and the disk OS.  The latter can be any OS inc. Gentoo of course.

Well, Thank you for your answer Mick, but after numerous test also many
times I've tried, could't make this happen, because quick media is without
the HD (or at least I think) because I don't need to get to windows, is a
OS very light to use, email, navigation, skype and some others things.

Also, I have to delete RECOVERY partition, because it did not work (I tried
with extended partition, same results)

Now, I'm running Gentoo +  Windows 7 (Dual Boot) a little problems, but for
now, I can work in both systems very well.

Regards

Correct, so it should be completely independent of Windows or Gentoo or
whichever OS you have installed on your hard drive.

Those partitions are pretty useless anyway :)

Awesome! Glad to hear you have Gentoo working! Just out of curiosity, what
types of problems are you still having?

Well,

My laptop has 2 video cards INTEL (integrated video card) That's the only
one that works.

And Ati Mobility Radeon Premium Graphics:

lspci:
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev a5)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility
Radeon HD 5400 Series]

I tried with switchero but it just only work with INTEL not for ATI, also
I've tried to use just ATI (ati-drivers) package, but when I try to:
X -configure

it says something like:
Screen found, but driver:
fxglrs (not found)

I tried following all gentoo wiki about ATI, but it just simply don't work.
I don't care to use both video cards, but I would like to use ATI insted
INTEL.

If there any way or someone who knows how to solve this, it would be great
for me!

Regards

If the Intel video card is working correctly, then you should only need to
adjust which driver X uses when it starts. This can be changed within
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. The ATI driver should be called fglrx which is
installed when you emerge ati-drivers. It's strange that it can not find
the driver, though. If it's possible, can you attach the error message? The
ati-drivers package also comes with a tool, aticonfig, which may help
auto-configure xorg.conf, as well.
