    BP> its in kernel .config even   
      
   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.
