All;
I've been "fighting the good fight" trying to get XFS to work on Mandrake 8.0
So, I'm at the point that XFS compiles & works fine, but I have another problem
with the kernel.
On the default kernel, frame buffer works fine, and I get the full graphical
boot on aurora.
Then I grab the CVS kernel from SGI to get XFS. I copied the .config from the
Mandrake kernel over and used it as a starting point. Ran "make oldconfig" to
pick up the default Mandrake options (it was a good starting point). But even
doing that, the frame buffer won't work on that kernel.
So: Does anyone know what patches/changes Mandrake made to their "stock" kernel?
Given a baseline of patches, I'll know what to apply to the SGI kernel.
I've heard from some folks that frame buffer is working great on that same
kernel (they have different graphics cards. I have an integated ATI Rage Pro (it
detects as an Mach 64 chip).) But mine doesn't work.
I know that this is more a problem for the SGI-XFS list. But I wanted to find
out what's unique about the setup on the Mandrake kernel to cause this.
Thanks! Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
