Hello, Just upgraded to the latest X 4 (and the rest of sid), and I can't be sure X worked since 4.0.2-2, but -11 is quite broken! At 1600x1200, I get about 30 lines of garbage at the top of the screen- in the right colors, roughly- and black for the rest of the screen, and the cursor is correct for a few seconds, then becomes two horizontal lines. If I leave it running for long enough, I get all kinds of garbage in the cursor.
This is on a Voodoo 3 2000, dual PIII 450 with 2.2.18. So, figuring it might work with a 2.4 kernel, I installed kernel-image-2.4.2-pentiumiii-smp, but can't get it to boot. I either get "Unable to mount rootfs" with some variation on 301/03:01 (root is /dev/hda1) or "Kernel panic: I have no root and I want to scream!", both right after devfs tries to start. I tried devfs=mount, devfs=nomount, devfs=only root=/dev/ide/c0b0t0u0p1 and variations with and without noinitrd. Can't get root to mount at all. Oh- and I have devfsd installed, but that's irrelevant pre-INIT, right? How is it that this binary kernel image package which Debian distributes doesn't come with any kind of documentation on how to boot it? (Yes, I looked in its /usr/share/doc dir, and got kernel-doc-2.4.2 but had to search through Documentation/filesystems/devfs/README.gz for nearly an hour just to get as far as I did. Also did dpkg -L devfsd but nothing useful there either.) Please cc me if you reply. Thanks, -Adam P.
