Post-script:& if I do go to the kernel.org kernel, what is going to
change, and what will I have to do about it/them, and what, if anything,
is just going to --stay-- broke/different?
Thanks again!,

Ok, is:
kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r4
the same as:
kernel-2.6.11.4
plus/minus the Gentoo-specific patches?
I'm dying here fighting to get my ATI all-in-wonder agp8x Dual-Screen
working under 'gento-r4 with Win4Lin. (will need 3D, so using ATI's
drivers.)
I got the ATI & Gentoo to play nice (something I never could do in
SuSE 9.0Pro, which is the main reason why I came to Gentoo) -- by
simply copying a different xorg.conf file into /etc/X11 I can have
single-screen, wide-screen, or dual-head simply for the cost of
backing out to console, issue one (shell-script-ed) command, & startx
again.
But!, with the gentoo-r4 / Win4Lin patched kernel (with the 2.6.11.5
patches), if I go for widescreen, x won't even start. For dually, it
starts, but insists on sending my 10x7 14-inch monitor a clone of the
12x10 17-inch'er, which needless to say!, the 14 don't like, and it's
a clone anyway, which is absolutely useless to me.
If anybody has any clues on this, great & Thank You, but for now, the
question is, so I can decide about using a kernel.org kernel, are the
two above equivalent as I asked.
Thanks Much!,
