Sid
in my /etc/apt/sources.list I changed testing to unstable and did a
dist-upgrade, that brought me to sid right? The reason I ask is because
when I did a dist upgrade from woody my login changed from Debian 3.0 to
Debian 3.1, and it is still at Debian 3.1.
The reason I did this is I am trying to install daenzer's sid xserver,
however I have been trying all day to apt-get update with deb
http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk-sid/ ./ in my sources.list
and have been unable to connect to that. I poked around in links,
(because lynx was driving me mad), and came across a page that said
that and some other debian servers were down, but I was unable to find
out when that was written, is this the case?
Next thing, going on some advice I got privately from Ben Herrenschmidt,
I am tring to get a 2.6.11 kernel, and not being able to find one in
aptitude that had a name kernel-image-2.x.x that noted it was a 2.6.11 I
just installed the 2.6.11 kernel-tree and kernel-source and kernel-patches.
I have a couple questions here. I have a dual proccessor, now I haven't
tried this one, but I did compile a couple of the 2.6.11.6 kernels from
kernel.org last night, and they had an option for multiple (CPU's
Maybe?) But in the reading I understood it to be multiple processors,
and then when that's checked there was an option below that I know said
CPU, and since CCPU is central processing unit, I figured that was the
processors, though it defaulted to 25, I set it to 2, because I only
have two. Did I get that right? What patches do I need to use, or is
it a trial and error thing? I don't remember at this point but I want
to compile on support for the ati 128 Rage Pro, if it's even possible to
do that as a module instead, does that need to be put into /etc/modules
to get frame buffer support for the kernel, and if I do that, should I
be able to use video=aty128fb at login? Thus far I have only been able
to login with video=ofonly and x keeps complaining about no frame
buffer. Please any thoughts?
