Or so goes the theory :-) That's what I did with 2.6.8, sure. 2.6.7 I
cannot build to save my life (unknown opcode dssall; that seems to ring a
bell and I'll search the archives). The 'ignore right mouse button
events from crazy trackpad' patch isn't in the default kernel, and without
it the system is messed up to the point it gets useless.

2.6.8 and unstable xfree86 apparently hates the Radeon 9600 - the system
freezes quite often when panning horizontally in the browser window. Not
to mention screen flicker in the console (though 2.6.7 also had that).
