I want Fn+F9 can work. So the follow step is procedure for my testing. It work.
make menuconfig
Device Drivers → X86 Platform Specific Device Drivers
Tick up
<M> WMI (will open - < > ASUS WMI Driver)
<M> ASUS WMI Driver (when tick up this time will tick up another item was called Asus Notebook WMI Driver)
<M> Asus Notebook WMI DriverCheck .config
[happy@localhost linux-4.6.2]$ grep -inr "asus_wmi" .config
3177:CONFIG_ASUS_WMI=m
[happy@localhost linux-4.6.2]$ grep -inr "asus_nb_wmi" .config
3178:CONFIG_ASUS_NB_WMI=mHow to find the method. I check my .config in my archlinux. The command like below.
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
And I find my settings in my archlinux have two option have been opened.
CONFIG_ASUS_WMI=m
CONFIG_ASUS_NB_WMI=m
So I decide to download the linux kernel to find how to make those two option appear on my .config.
Why I want try this option, because my touchpad(Fn+F9) no work. I search other information that told me maybe I need this kernel module. So I want to compile it, and try if this module can let my touchpad work or not.
After set up the .config, then we need to start compile our kernel.
There have two method can do this job.
Method 1:
Use genkernel to compile kernel.
A: No specific .config
genkernel all (Builds all stages — the initrd, kernel image and modules.)
B: Specific .config
genkernel --config=/path/to/genkernel.conf all
Method 2:
Copy the bzImage to /boot
/usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage –> /boot
I need to find which one is initramfs
Edit /boot/loader/entries/gentoo.conf
title Gentoo Linux
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-4.4.6-gentoo
linux /bzImage
options root=/dev/sda2 rw
