It's not a debian standard one, this patch was applied http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/ but the configuration is the same of the stock 2.6.18 kernel, except of course of the options introduced by theabove patch, and CONFIG_VM86=Y is there.

lirc modules needing complete kernel source
I'm thinking of giving lirc a try. I find I need the lirc-modules-source package because lirc_dev is absent. The package in dselect says that kernel sources must be installed to compile these modules. Why cannot they simply be compiled with headers, like the nvidia module for example?

The package also modifies itself on debian/rules clean, so overall it is really in an awful state. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Compiz + AIGLX + Nvidia HOWTO
I was asking this because with the new nvidia drivers, you don't need to use AIGLX anymore. GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is directly implemented in the driver. Therefore you can use direct rendering and gain much performance. -Pascal On 3 Oct 2006 05:49:33 GMT, Jack Malmostoso [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 03 Oct 2006 02:50:10 +0200, Pascal Giard wrote: Simple question, why have you choosen to use indirect rendering as this is much slower than direct rendering?

Re: apt bug 388708
Thanks a lot. Got apt-get update working again. However, at least for i386, the Debian repositories still (3 October 17.10 UTC) contain a faulty 0.6.46. Running apt-get upgrade the wrong status is obtained again, so that the procedure of downgrading to 0.6.45 must be repeated regards francesco pietra On Monday 02 October 2006 22:32, Hamish Moffatt wrote: On Mon, Oct 02, 2006 at 02:52:51PM +, Francesco Pietra wrote: Debian Bug report logs - #388708 apt: Upgrading to this version (0.6.46) makes status file unparseable did I miss detail how to remedy to APT not working anymore?
