Greetings.
Didn't get much of a response the first time, so here I go again.
1. Had no trouble using X with my own 2.0.32, 2.0.33, and 2.0.34
kernels for a long time.
2. Installing StarOffice 5.0 screwed up something with
/lib/lid-linux.*,
making system unusable.
3. Had to reformat / and reinstall RH 5.0 to be able to get back into
the system.
4. Now, using my own 2.0.32, 2.0.33, and 2.0.34 kernels gets me a black
screen and error messages about not finding the right resolution or path
(what do these have to do with the kernel?).
5. Using the default 2.0.32 kernel shipped with 5.0 gives me a working,
system, albeit with a strange hodgepodge of kernel functionality that
takes up RAM, uses RAM disks, etc.
Can someone out there explain this to me, please?
TIA,
Jeff
