hiya people, just to recap: i agreed with herbert to patch my 2.4.20 kernel to include some debugging information in the ps/2 module, but since then have not compiled up a 2.4.20 kernel for my machine (running with the "standard" debian 2.4.20 i am not sure what to do, so have left it).
once this gets sufficiently psychologically intolerable to do work i will suddenly go compiling instead of working. l.
