Re: X on Ultra5 with Debian Lenny 5.0.3
How do I do this? Stick squeeze server details into apt resources list and then apt-get upgrade ??

Basically, if you are running stable (lenny), I think X should work if you move to testing (squeeze) along with the newer kernel.

Re: X on Ultra5 with Debian Lenny 5.0.3
Thanks for that Howard. Unfortunately, it looks like sid/unstable is now up to 2.6.31. i did try this kernel, but I still get the error. Is there an archive of snapshots of sid anywhere on the 'net I could search for a working kernel?

I have a an unresolved CD device issue with the newer kernels, but that's another story.
