Re: Xorg upgrade: 6.9.x to 7.0.x
On the matter of LBX, please see the following: http://keithp.com/~keithp/talks/lbxpost/index.html In summary, LBX has been deemed a failed technology. In response, I quote a good friend of mine who said, "Bad breath is better than no breath." The "lbxproxy" program had its problems, but it allowed certain applications to function over low-bandwidth "ssh" links that would not otherwise work. The price of progress, I reckon... -- --- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

But I've been told the XSF will reupload it if there's demand for it, so if you use it please go over to debian-x and demand for it. :) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

FWIW, they are at that version on i386 as well. Cheers, Phil -- "Screw it! Mighty forces, I suck at Latin, OK? But that's not the issue.

Just a followup... Got everything installed and it seems to be working with the TGA2 hardware. Notable omissions from the list of updated packages are "pm-dev" and "lbxproxy", which seem to be stuck at package version 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 on the Alpha. Anyone know if there's a new "lbxproxy" on the horizon, or whether it has been replaced by something? -- --- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've not used that kernel, but have encountered the "symbol errors" problem elsewhere with SMP kernels. If you can, change the SMP cpnfig to de-modularize (ie build in) the SCSI subsystem, XFS, and IPV6; all those modules appear to be too large, in some way. You don't need to de-modularize the SCSI drivers, just the higher layers of that subsystem.

vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-alpha-smp working for anyone?
good day all ... has anyone gotten kernel-image-2.6-smp 2.6.15-8 to boot? i've been playing a bit more this morning, kernel-image-2.4.27-2-smp boots, but cannot run correctly due to udev i think, but at least boots. 2.6.15-8 fails to boot at all with what seems to be symbols errors (it runs off the console too fast) and then just drops into busybox. just wondering if its working for anyone. vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-alpha-generic works fine as well. -- michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
