Yeah. The Debian 2.4.5 kernel images have the required support. I'm
working out a sigbus issue with the XFree86 server right now. After I
resolve this (with much help from DaveM so far), then patches will get
integrated.
Dave has the server working for him locally. I actually have it working
under 2.2.20pre1 kernels. For some reason, the sigbus pops up with 2.4.x
kernels. Shouldn't be too much longer, and I'll post here with test
.deb's.
