If you are going to compile a 2.2.x kernel, forget about
changing the video.S file. That was only for the micron
millennia transport and only for the 2.0.x kernels. My
laptop works just fine without doing anything special with
the 2.2.13 kernel.
Just make your new kernel with only the things you need.
Use the kernel-package package to do it. It's really easy.
Just do the make menuconfig (or whatever you like), then
make-kpkg clean
make kpkg --revision mynewkernel.1.0 kernel_image
Then install it using dpkg -i. The .deb file is left in
/usr/src. You might also want to install pcmcia-source
and compile that stuff too (use target modules_image).
