Re: XVR-500 support in Lenny

[Dave Barnett <barnetda@blueriver.net>]

Petr:

Well, a google search turned up this page 
(http://merkel.debian.org/~jurij/) which has the Debian kernel 
configurations.

The entry for 2.6.26-8 for sparc, "config-2.6.26-1-sparc64.gz 
<http://merkel.debian.org/%7Ejurij/2.6.26-8/sparc/config-2.6.26-1-sparc64.gz>" 
shows:

# CONFIG_FB_XVR500 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_XVR2500 is not set

Does that help?

[I was expecting to find information that tells me where the "config" 
file details are contained on a running system (under /proc, I thought), 
but I haven't found that, yet....  Perhaps that functionality isn't 
available / compiled into the sparc kernels...]

Cheers,
Dave
