Re: which ruby patch set?

[Jeremy G. <j....@lo...>]

ok, I got the 2.6.11-4-mm sources applied the ruby-2.6.11-2.patch.bz2
patchset

patched xorg 6.8.2 with the isolateDevice patch

change a few lines in my xorg.conf server file

and things almost work :-(

i can get the first screen up, then when I startup the second screen
the first freezes up.

If I run the new patched xorg server with my 2.6.9 ruby kernel I can get
both screens running at the same time, but the first screen gets shifted
over to the right about two inches.

I guess I might be going back to my older xorg server with the hacked
video option.

any ideas?
