Hey Derek
Once again, I write, and somebody else is doing so at that very moment! I shall try gentoo, and the flags, but the graphics thing will still stop me if I can't find a solution (see last posting about p(i)d(i)p).
Thanks for your advice, Ed

It seems to have a lot to do with what compiler flags you use:

Maybe there's still some hope with compiling your whole system with custom flags under Gentoo?
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Gentoo_compile_flags:
If you have a Pentium-M cpu you should use "-march=pentium3" since it's a Pentium 3 deriviate, unless you're using GCC >=3.4 which is marked as unstable. GCC 3.4 has a specific march-setting for Pentium-M machines.
Looks like with GCC >=3.4 you could use the -march=pentium-m flag.
