Sure, I can add a section to the FAQ/woody page. But AFAIR the only 2.4
kernel images for m68k are 2.4.17, and the new API started to get in only
today? So no trouble from this end yet.
Also for tracing down the problem, it should be possible to use 2.2 kernels.
IMHO its easier if you try to fix problems seperately, if you want to fix
XFree, use a 2.2 kernel, if you want to fix 2.4 input API, use XFree 3.3.6.
Makes sense to me at least?

this year)?
