X runs on PReP with FBpatch. But......

[Kazunori Aoshima]

Hi,

I run XF86_FBdev with linux-2.2.10 with Jeff Rugen's 
prep_fb.patch.
Thanks for cool framebuffer patch for PowerStack.
Now I only tested with new zImage boot, and test mode 
on Xconfigurator.
Maybe That's sounds good.
I found a "penguin" on boot sequence.

Works:
1.Manual frame_buffer patch for kernel.
  The patch is made for kernel-2.2.1, so it cannot add 
  patches automatically on 2.2.10 kernel source.
2.Compile kernel with framebuffer option.
3.Install it.
4.Reboot.
5.Install XFree86-FBdev.rpm on R5 CD-ROM.
6.Run Xconfigurator
7.It would detect CLgen, so push "OK".
8.Set color modes and monitor modes.
  I set custom, and 1024x768 with 8bit and 16bit mode, 
  with 1024x768 Hireflesh mode.
9.Test mode start. If change monirtor modes for Xwindow like,
  Push OK.

I don't know after No.9, because SCSI control.drops down and freeze
my machine.
#On R5, SCSI is easily drops down on my machine.
But maybe a purpose for Framebuffer X.

But, I would like to run Xbh.
I could not run Xbh on my R5 environment before.
How would I do to run Xbh? Were ther any patches?

Best regards.
