So it is solved? LOL! Well, if by "solved" you mean that I am able to use the full power of my CPU, then, yes, it is solved. However, it is now completely incapable of having its CPU controlled for power, so once I go on batteries, I have about an hour and a half....so in that sense, no, it's not solved. No, it's not solved. I am going to burn an ISO and boot one of those "other" distros that shall remain nameless and see if there is something strange with my Gentoo kernel madness or whether it's this machine.
