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)
