I think you are wanting this site.

I have to say, the actual source has been working great over here, and even with the 2.6.1 patch I added a couple of days ago. I have no idea about the yum packages. Let me know the outcome.

Actually I mean the actual dev entry. I no longer have any control over my mouse buttons. The Zaxis mapping doesnt work, nor does any button besides my main three.

And now I am coming across some weird shit with my modules. They arent loading right at all. I have to do it all by hand at each boot.

I have it working with framebuffer and usb and stuff, except sound. Haven't had a chance to troubleshoot Alsa yet. I can post my .config file if you'd like.

[Kernel_Killer]

On the mouse, I just compiled the options in the kernel rather than using modules. Works great. Boot still complains about modules, but someday I stop it from loading them when I care.

Well, I rebooted and all hell broke loose. I am reinstalling SuSE to

A) Get my shit that I need off the drive. I cant burn and for some reason even my RHL 9 rescue disc isnt letting me move it to a FAT32 drive. Grrrrrr... And no Knoppix, Morphix, and Gnoppix failed too. Oh, and thats the short explanation ;D Sources, modules, no lan ....

Some really strange permissions issue on the traget drive. Dunno.

B) Check out SuSE 9.


Worst case I reinstall SuSE9 from FTP again... Oooh. Big deal.

I am also getting a little irked by miscellaneous shit not working right. Like up2date dying constantly, GNOME not quite right in alot of areas .... I need to fix something. I am under the assumtion that some not ready for prime time shit is causing some serious hell,

[Schotty]

Got SuSE 9.0 up and going.

Question :

I see that there is a test5 kernel, but any stable 2.6.x kernels yet anywhere?

[Schotty]

Forget it.

SuSE 9 is nothing but a nightmare. Should have stuck with fedora.

I've found it the other way so far. I haven't been able to get Fedora working properly, but Suse 9 was great. Although i never did get around to putting 2.6 on it.

I didnt even get to the 2.6 part. The damn XF86 bullshit was just tiuring. The damn server refused to keep my settings, and always went out of refresh range. I even went as far as to hack a FC1 XF86 config backup file and STILL. I would get it going, then reboot to the same crap.

I am debating on exactly what I want to goto. FC1, Libranet (most likely) or Mandrake. Dunno yet. AS I decide, I am downloading MDK 9.2. Shall see.

Ahh, hell. Libranet it is ;D Debian is supposed to be simple enough ...
