I sometimes run a 2.4.x kernel on my FC2 system, to test the software that I write. The only tweak needed is to the mouse definition in the Xorg config file. At boot time I symlink to one of 2 xorg.conf files, depending on the kernel running and all is well: # diff xorg.conf-linux-2.6 xorg.conf-linux-2.4 71c71 < Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" --- > Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Hope this helps.
