Hi Matt,
Well I have now built and installed the Kernel. I have no idea what it was
doing during that hour or so it took to make/compile it but it worked first
time. It must have been using the HAL of the previously installed system on
which it was built.
Just for fun I tried to find the xserver and then KDE. APT found both and
they installed AND it works as well.
One problem which, I think, you predicted, it will not use the resolution
1280 x 1074 in KDE. For some reason that displays 800x600 as the highest
setting. I edited the XF68Config-4 and knocked out all other options then
narrowed the horizsync/vertrefresh and it worked for a short while then
reverted back to 800x600.
The next project is to get the sound card working. I might need some help
with that.
Walter
