    Now anyone want to see if they can get the newest Parhelia Driver to work with it???? (would love to play around with 2.6.0 Finally we have ALSA built in!)

      I don't have a parhelia to test with, but i can tell for a G400. The kernel 2.6.0 seem's to have some sort of bug with the framebuffer... i can't compile neither mplayer nor directfb against it.

        I've been using 2.5 and 2.6 tests for a while now. I have a G200 and everything (besides TV capture) works spiffy without having to deal with downloading stuff besides the kernel.

          I've been running the -mm test kernels on my laptop for a while now (and even my 486 for a little while). I haven't really been stressing it though, so I'll refrain from commenting on it.

          All we need now is for them to sort out the mess w.r.t. NPTL and the kernel headers.

              @spazm: Here, try this. I've been using his patches with the 2.5 and 2.6 test series for many months and been able to use mplayer and directfb,etc.

              They changed the fb api and this patch allows you to still do all the cool stuff G400's can do in Linux.
