[parisc-linux] X window refresh problem

[Griffin, Aubrey, BMCIO]

Richard,

I installed that kernel already and booted from it. When I started X, it
crashed. So, I went back to my old kernel.

I have just done an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade. I'll see if it works
now.

Thanks,

Aubrey

grab
ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/unofficial-debs/kernel-image-2.4.9-32_011017.pa59
_hppa.deb

and dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.9-32_011017.pa59_hppa.deb

I think you are advised to upgrade the rest of your system first, if
you havn't done so recently (apt-get update; apt-get upgrade).
