- I am having some difficulty getting my kernel sources into a state
- where I can rebuild the kernel. I installed the source distribution
- as normal, and applied the official patches. Then I tried to install
- the patches that came with the X distribution, but they didn't work -
- some already seemed to be applied while others just failed. Does
- anyone have any suggestions on this? Do you, for example, have to
- apply the X patches to a completely clean kernel?
-
- This has become a frequently asked question, so it deserves posting.
-
- The XFree86 kernel patches were contribued to the patchkit. Since the
- XFree86 and the patch kit have identcal patches for X, use one or the
- other not both. If you apply patches 28-31, don't apply the XFree86
- kernel patches.
-
- However you do need to add
- options XSERVER,UCONSOLE
- to your kernel configuration file. Otherwise the X support is
- #ifdefed out.
-
- BTW, although we donated the patches, the attribution failed to make
- it in. The authors are:
