Dear all, I think this is a good chance for us to share our experience with 2.6.0. I notice that in make menuconfig, even though I'm not using old .config from 2.4, it will take .config from /boot. I make sure of a clean .config by doing make defconfig && make menuconfig.
I finally get lot's of things working with still a little glitches. ACPI support looks like need new tools, as /proc/acpi interface change (am I right, here?). The most important for me is Mouse. I use IBM T30 Laptop with synapstic mouse which has trackpoint and a touchpad at once. I used to use gpm from CVS (ver: 1.20) who knows about synapstic ps 2 and configure to relay its data to /dev/gpmdata for X. Now, it seems 2.6.0 identified the mouse with this message: localhost kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice localhost kernel: input: PC Speaker localhost kernel: Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 localhost kernel: Firware: 5.9 localhost kernel: Sensor: 44 localhost kernel: new absolute packet format localhost kernel: Touchpad has extended capability bits localhost kernel: -> multifinger detection localhost kernel: -> palm detection localhost kernel: input: Synaptics Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1 localhost kernel: serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 localhost kernel: input: AT Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 localhost kernel: serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 But I can't get gpm to work. Not with the CVS 1.20 version or even Debian Unstable's 1-19 version. I've tried synps2 and imps2 or autops2. Anyone have luck here? I've manage to compile the kernel using gcc-3.3 (standard in sid). But not sure of the stability, so I recompile with gcc-2.95. Will it affecting anything? I also notice that modprobe irda0 doesn't work anymore. irda0 is an alias for nsc-ircc I sets in modules.conf. But when I modprobe nsc-ircc directly, it work. But overall, I like the new kernel.
