Erm, ...

We should maybe fix PCI in the 2.4 kernel any idea ofwhat the problem is ?

(well i guess there were lot's of changes in the 2.4 pci code with regard to
the 2.2 one, or the time Michel wrote the PCI support).

There will nextly be a 4.0.2 bugfix succesor, which should fix the bugs in XF
4.0.2, and should be packaged almost immediately by branden i think, which
should fix the use of non-PCI (or broken PCI) 2.4 kernels.

But best would be if someone could test current cvs XF4 on a broken PCI
kernel, or maybe even better the XF4 from the 4.0.2 branch.

Maybe i should setup a cross compiler on my box here at work and compile one
for people to test. Any experience with cross compiling X ?
