I would also like to see PAE enabled in default kernel. In my case, I'm doing a lot of coding and I'm synchronizing my data between my desktop machine (core 2, x86-64, 4 GB RAM) and my laptop (Pentium 4M) so it was too inconvenient to install a 64 bits version ; yet I would like to use all my RAM.

>It's a known fact that 32-bit Linux only supports around 3.2 GB of RAM. ??? With PAE and HIGHMEM_4G/HIGHMEM_64G enabled and compiled for i686 or higher, a 32-bit Linux can see 4 GB resp. 64 GB without problems. (One could of course argue that these kernels are not "pure" 32-bit) In some PAE art

Triaged to Confirmed. It's a known fact that 32-bit Linux only supports around 3.2 GB of RAM. 64-bit is missing some applications, but is getting better supported all the time. Not sure what Ubuntu can do about it. I imagine the changes to the 32-bit kernel are not trivial to support 4 GB of us

Ah, that you meant. The server kernel will never get X11 support ;->> I used the server kernel (and nvidia's own installer) for some time myself, but that's really not the way it should be. I agree with your solution list and that #1 is the favourite. However I'd generally love to see more com

Christoph, I understand all that, my comment was worded wrong I guess. What we need is a build of the restricted drivers package for the -server kernel. There appears to be one for all others. Yes they do have packages for the individual drivers but you have to use module-assistant and have the

Most restricted drivers are available es extra package, in versions sepcifically compiled against specific kernels. (nvida-glx-legacy, nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-new) Putting restricted nvidia modules in the kernel will not happen and for good reasons: + the kernel should be kept small, It's awful b
