I know, I know... ;)

Sure. Only I remember having installed Mandrake 9.1, and I think video 
performance was somewhat better. Maybe I am wrong and memory cheats...

You're right! First line in the patch file says:

arch/i386/config.in         |    3 +

So the patch to the config.in file is only applied automatically for the 
i386 architecture. Indeed CONFIG_LOLAT_SYSCTL was not in my .config, so 
should I paste this manually into arch/ppc/config.in? Would this be enough?

And about the preempt, patch, well, it seems I still have enough tests 
to perform so I can spend my holydays safely.

IJLUW (indeed, just like using Windows!) ;)
