Well, I could not even downgrade to 1.7 -- when I did and started gdm, I |
| 22 |
lost my keyboard -- I had to login from somewhere else and do chvt to |
| 23 |
get out. Maybe this was because of hal or something, not sure. I have |
| 24 |
in my backups an ebuild for 1.9.2.902 which seems to work in preliminary |
| 25 |
testing whereas 1.9.4 did not work at all with this kernel. |
