I am running straight slackware 10.0 with applicable patches. I am "stuck" in version 10.0 secondary to graphic card issues based in the "current" version of xorg. Now I thought it would be kinda nice to try Dropline Gnome, but I need the version 2.6, and am unbable to find this "outdated version", no archives on the Dropline Gnome site.

Where can I Download Dropline Gnome 2.6 for my slack 10.0?

Whats wrong with Dropline GNOME 2.8?

Why not Dropline Gnome 2.8?

1.) "Dropline GNOME 2.8.0
GNOME 2.8, X11 6.8.1, and HAL have been integrated into the latest release of Dropline GNOME. Please note that HAL requires a 2.6 kernel to function correctly"

2.) "Updated to X.org X11 6.8.1" My system has issue with Xorg 6.8.1 due to the fact that I have a legacy graphics card ATI 7200 which is no longer has driver support. This is an assumption I have why I have been unsuccessful in xorgconfig for X11 6.8.1. I was unable to even get a stable display (resolution, refresh rates, etc). I never have had too many problems with xorg 6.7.0.

3.) I really don't know any better, but I am thinking that maybe Dropline Gnome 2.6 is all I can use at this point in time. ( ? )


Let me know if I am too far into left field, would you?
