USB keyboard lights & kernel 2.3.52 (paul's)
I finally was able to get Paul's tree to run on my box tonight (2.3.52), and all seems great, except for two things:
1) My USB keyboard's lights have gone wacko. In 2.3.39 and below, they didn't light up at all (num lock, scroll lock, caps lock), but in 2.3.52, when caps lock is toggled, the num lock light lights up instead, and I have yet to figure out what toggles the other two :) not a major problem, just an oddity.
2) The other problem is that netfilter 0.1.18 no longer builds -- I'm guessing this is due to a change in the kernel headers and we'll probably see a new netfilter release soon, but I figured I'd mention it anyway.
Last question: since my work schedule has been so hectic, I haven't been actually following the threads on XFree86 4.0, so I'm just curious... does it currently build on PPC boxes? And does it support accelerated video with the ATI RagePro, or do is this a good reason for me to go out and actually buy a Rage128 :)
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

IMHO it's a better reason to help getting the acceleration support for ATI RagePro work (yes, this is linuxppc-_dev_ :-).
