Will my .config from the 2.6.13 kernel source I got from yast work with the new kernel source from kernel.org?
Yes. Copy the old .config file to the new kernel source directory, then do 'make oldconfig'. It will use the old settings where it can and ask you about any new ones.
No need to copy the file, just use "make cloneconfig" instead (without the quotes of course). Then you can rune make menuconfig to make changes or run make prepare_all.
David, Ken: Thanks for the good advise. I'm going to give it a go and see just how bad I can screw this up. Sheesh, rebuilding Xorg from source, then rebuilding the kernel from source just to get dri, drm and mesa to work at 1680x1050. If you start seen posts about a kernel roll-back posted in an apparent panic, you will know things are not going so well.... -- David C.
