i am running 2.2.13 slackware on a sony vaio pcg-n505x (64mb/6.5gb/2.5mb gfx). this was a full off-the-shelf install. want to upgrade to a usb-ready (or as close as currently possible) kernel. for some reason, xconfig is not giving me the chance to select the kernel options i found in the 2.2.13 kernel .config: # # Console drivers # CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y # CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y # CONFIG_FB_PM2 is not set CONFIG_FB_VESA=y # CONFIG_FB_VGA16 is not set CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y CONFIG_FB_MATROX=m CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MILLENIUM=y CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MYSTIQUE=y CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G100=y CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y # CONFIG_FB_ATY is not set # CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL is not set CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED=y CONFIG_FBCON_MFB=m CONFIG_FBCON_CFB2=m CONFIG_FBCON_CFB4=m CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y # CONFIG_FBCON_AFB is not set # CONFIG_FBCON_ILBM is not set # CONFIG_FBCON_IPLAN2P2 is not set # CONFIG_FBCON_IPLAN2P4 is not set # CONFIG_FBCON_IPLAN2P8 is not set # CONFIG_FBCON_MAC is not set # CONFIG_FBCON_VGA_PLANES is not set CONFIG_FBCON_VGA=y # CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY is not set CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS=y CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y # CONFIG_FONT_SUN8x16 is not set # CONFIG_FONT_SUN12x22 is not set # CONFIG_FONT_6x11 is not set # CONFIG_FONT_PEARL_8x8 is not set # CONFIG_FONT_ACORN_8x8 is not set XF86Config points me to at least some of the above, but i only get two choices in the 2.4.0test9 xconfig. why is this? when i compile, the video is absent, i.e. X won't start, no startup BIOS penguin etc. can someone point me in the right direction? thanks mark ___________________________________________________________________________ Visit http://www.visto.com/info, your free web-based communications center.
