And which X driver are you using? No, i have a AT 128 something. I am writing about it in another post. Somebody gave me a couple of useful hints. The real problem is: if i can't properly use samba, i can't use FC2 at all because i can't accomplish my company procedures. Bleargh... ;) I'll try to see what diff i can find between the two different kernels, though i think it isn't really clever - i mean, 2.6 doesn't have so much to do with a 2.4...let's try.
