Re: [SLE] 2.4.1 thus far.

Got the latest from the SuSE website... Thanks for that gem of advice, I will look to see if there are any newer ones. I want to get my joystick working again, so I can play Terminus on my Linux partition :-). Matt On Tue, 30 Jan 2001 23:37:53 Purple Shirt wrote:

There is an issue with modules and 2.3.somenumber and above. Make sure you got latest modutils installed.

Its not for newbie for sure....I tried to keep the kernel itself small by using modules, but my Ethernet card did not work. The module ends up in this place /lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/net/tulip.

The same happened with sound (emu10k1). The only way I got around this was by building it into the kernel, however it looks as though joystick support has gone out of the window, at least for now...Ethernet card worked only when built in too.

The easiest part was actually the Nvidia graphics card, all I had to do was re-make the driver from source.

Overall its probably best to wait for SuSE 7.1, unless you want to spend the time and take the risks. Although everything should have some sort of workaround.
