Re: 2.6.x with no X on a U5
Hi Mark,
I had a few problems getting X to run with a 2.6.x kernel. I dug about
in the archives and found this article quite useful.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2004/debian-sparc-200402/msg00073.html
X still doesn't work as well as it does under a 2.4 kernel but it is
more or less there.
HTH,
Euan.
