Gentoo + KDE 4.3 on Eee PC 1000H

About a year ago I've bought an Eee PC 1000H netbook made by Asus - right from the beginning I've been using it with Gentoo which is my favourite distribution, with a KDE 3.5. There were some issues but most of the time it ran just fine. But as I'm a notorious breaker and I ignore most of the messages produced by portage, the netbook reached a point of no return - there was no other way than a fresh install - this time with a KDE 4.3 environment.

I forwarn you this is not an installation guide - after all we have a great Gentoo Handbook for that. It's rather a collection of useful and interesting information specific for the 1000H (and maybe other netbooks too), eg. kernel configuration, use flags, issues I've ran into, etc.
