Please tell this newbie about issues regarding kernel upgrades. I'm
having trouble using my Dell flat panel display with Sarge and 2.4 kernel.
I've tried all the X reconfigure options to no avail. The box works fine
with a CRT, but with the flat panel, it just flashes and is unusable. Is
it crazy to think trying the 2.6 kernel might help this problem? I'm under
the impression that 2.6 has better hardware support than 2.4.
And then, my question is what other issues do I need to consider regarding
a kernel upgrade? IOW, should I worry about new issues appearing with my
common packages like Apache, Squirrelmail, ClamAV, SpamAssassin etc? (I
don't want to exchange one problem for new problems.
If I upgrade, will I then have a choice of which kernel to use at boot
time? (Grub)
Any comments appreciated. - John |
