OK, I just copied your .config into /usr/src/linux. When I ran ``make'', I got a bunch of yes/no prompts for what should be compiled into the kernel. Is this normal?

Edit: I had 2.6.27-r2---with -r3 it compiled fine. However, your xorg.conf doesn't work for me. I copied it over, made some changes so that it would work with ATI binary driver, and now I'm getting ``setVBEMode failed''. Also, I don't understand why it's using a screen depth of 8, when I commented out all the depths except for 24 in xorg.conf.


Eh sorry. I only copied the parameters here which were selected. I did a

Code:

> cat .config | grep - v "#"


such that all unselected parameters were not printed. Is there a BBCode enviroment here which saves space? Then, after work, i post the complete .config file.
I also think it is important not to use all my kernel parameters. Most people dont need for example chinese, french or german as additional languages.

Well is it possible for me to go into menuconfig and edit your kernel .config after I copy it into /usr/src/linux ? In that case, I would be able to remove the features I'm sure I don't need.
