New Debian Indy...

New Debian Indy...

[Mike Martin]

I've just successfully loaded Debian/MIPS onto my recently aquired Indy. A huge thank you to all the developers!

A few things do not work and I was wondering whether they shouldn't work (ie not supported yet) or whether I've done something wrong. I've checked the resources I know about - but I can't find a good reference on what is and is not supported.

Things that don't work:
X in 24 bit mode (I have the XL-24, 8 bit X works great)
Indy Cam
Sound

If these should work, I'd appreciate if someone could help me find out how to fix mine! 

Thanks!

Not supported in the debian packages but flaky support in XFree86
4.2.0. See
 http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/linux-mips/x/x.html
for details.

> Indy Cam

> Sound
Install at least the kernel-image-2.4.17-r4k-ip22 package and load the
HAL module.

debs for debian-unstable for xfree-4.2 :P

Guido, please, can you add this to your side?
