Please note that this pa= tch=20 is only=20 for 2.4 kernels. If you move to a 2.6" echo "${BAD}*${NORMAL} kernel, you WILL need to re-merge=20 Xfree,=20 otherwise OpenGL-based applications" echo "${BAD}*${NORMAL} will fail in X." (snip) Since this isn't completely accurate..maybe a slight tweaking on the wordin= g. If you are running a 2.6 kernel with 2.6 headers installed, Open-GL apps wi= ll=20 fail with X.If you are running a 2.6 kernel with the 2.4 headers installed,= =20 you won't even notice any change, not to mention avoiding quite a few bs=20 problems with packages that wont build against the 2.6 headers anyway. (I've run xfree 4.3.0-r3 since it hit unstable, and have yet to rebuild it= =20 through 2.5 to todays 2.6.0test8) =2D-=20 Chuck Brewer Registered Linux User #284015 Get my gpg public key at pgp.mit.edu!!
