I tried the 2.10.10 kernel you mentioned and with the upper mentioned vid=
eo
setting (disable pm2fb) it worked.

However Linux on a PAL screen doesn't make much fun.
I guess I'll have to reactivate my old PicassoIV (hm which PCI card shoul=
d I
dump? 8)).


If I get the latest kernel sources (2.4.9 or so) I guess it is possible t=
o
compile it without PCI support, or?
If so, how can I get the sources from the Amiga-OS side (as the PCI Ether=
net
card is not visible from APUS)? Does there a CVS for Amiga OS exist?


BTW: Thanks to everybody who helped me on this subject.
