No it isn't. According to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hardware_detection,
"There is a kernel configuration option called CONFIG_GENTOO_LINUX only present
in sys-kernel/gentoo-sources and other Kernel Project maintained kernels." The
source I have comes from kernel.org and does not show any of the special
CONFIG_GENTOO config options.

So far I am either missing something or the intel 915 needs more work. The AST
based graphics works fine in both 4.x and 5.x kernels which is the one that
gives me 8 penguins. I don't ever plan to put a graphics card on there despite
it having issues playing video files other than older mpeg's and the such.
Speaking of which I tried using ffmpeg's builtin h265 (libx265) and that works
except the resulting h265 is HUGE. It played fine with mplayer using the
fbdev2 on the console. ;-)
BP> we all do, and ones that say never intrested them is lying :)
No I am not lying. I've never owned a cellphone either. I have used radio and
satellite phones way back when but have never owned either of those. As we
speak I do have a landline which is mostly an annoyance.
BP> added gentoo proc .config ? :)
Nope. I might look at slackware's 5.x config first to see if I missed
something in mine. I booted a slackware live on usb and they are using a 5.x
kernel on there that gives me penguins on the inteldrmfb. Given that slackware
uses the same kernel source that I am I figure I am missing something in my
kernel config wrt inteldrmfb graphics.
BP> you have to make usb mounted before starting framebufffering imho
Yes. It loads the inteldrmfb just fine but no penguins ... yet. Also I have
penguins on a 4.19.x kernel using inteldrmfb but haven't tried that on a usb
boot yet. One step at a time.
Stay well.
Het leven is goed,
Maurice
