Sid

[Michael <michael_six@users.sourceforge.net>]

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?
