Bug#142569: [lkcl@samba-tng.org: interaction between kernel and xfree86 v 4]
hi there herbet,
count me in as a guinea-pig!
i can manage recompiling kernels if someone would like
to send me a patch.
... what i can't manage [by myself] is recompiling Xfree86
except possibly under strict supervision and by someone
prepared to wield a Big Stick.
so yeh, send me some patches, instructions, place some
big files on a web site somewhere for me to pick up
(i only have a 56k dialup at home, evenings).
l.
p.s. i'm using linux kernel 2.5.3 ... um ... does that
make a difference?
