Hi

I've just successfully compiled kernel 2.4.24 (updated from 2.4.22) on Debian sid with absolutely no problems. So, I thought I'd try kernel 2.6.1 too. So, I used the instructions to make it into a deb package and successfully added it to the lilo bootloader and I have Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.6 in the boot menu

I have some problems however, I'm not sure what has changed between 2.4.x and 2.6.x, but it doesn't seem to be loading my graphics card intel i810 properly. On 2.4.24 X starts automatically. however, 2.6.1 will flicker a bit and stick at the login prompt. So i login and do startx, but that doesn't work. I get some error about screens not found. I've tried to compile it with several options using make menuconfig (I've imported my old (2.4.24) config and compiled it untouched, and I've imported the old config and changes some of the extra options. I've also tried xf86config and dpkg-reconfigure xfree86-server

I'm pretty sure the kernel is not picking up my graphics card. Any idea what is going wrong here? Is there a simple solution I'm missing?

Thanks in Advance!

Oh, and I've been here before with some pretty newbie-ish questions. But since then I've learned a whole lot.

hey,
what does the /var/log/xfree.. file say when u startx?

and i take it, that cake icon means ur bday? happy bday! now go out and forget bout X.

That file or directory does not exist? How about
/var/lib/XFree86.0.log ? Do you want me to paste the whole file here?

Thanks! ^_^

It's too long to post the whole file, so here's a link to it...

I appreciate your reply (ies)

Here is my regular 2.4.24 log if it helps:
