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.
The kernel does not drive the display, your display adapter does. Can
you submit the exact display model and the model of your display
adapter? Maybe we could help.
Display: Dell E152FPc
Display ATI Rage Fury (8MB)
Thanks
