In particular, distros add patches and use different configs. My ibook G4 has been running 2.6.20-rc4 since about January 8th without any issues, but I can remember that it took me a very long time to come up with a .config which worked for me after the move to arch/powerpc. If your graphics card is a radeon, I can send you my .config off-list if you think that will help. Ken -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce
