So this comment on the first of my entries about Gentoo on a T23 reminded me to make an update regarding my now working system
I also sorted out my VMWare issues.

Why do I have to run vmware-config.pl every time I reboot my computer?
This was happening to me, and while that's a lindows tutorial, it hit the nail on the head:
Because devfs rebuilds the /dev tree at each reboot, it is likely that your vmnet and vmmon devices will become unavailable. Because those devices are now unavailable, you have to manually run the vmware-config.pl to rebuild them into the existing /dev tree.
[UPDATE: 9/29/2004] This is total hogwash, see here
So everything was working flawlessly, and I had to switch over into Mandrake to get something, and when I rebooted to Gentoo again, chaos reigned.
Well, not quite chaos, but several modules were refusing to load, with lots of scary messages about IRQ settings and other hogwash.

Jimminy Christmas!
Everything was paddling along smoothly until I hit this little hiccup, I’ve got an ATI RADEON card, which is apparently a whole pile of badness.
Thank goodness some punks have figured this crap out before me!
Just for my own sanity, I wanted to doc some things.
