Hi all.

I upgrade the kernel from 2.4 to 2.6.7.
Everything is working ok but xfree.

is something changes form 2.4 to 2.6 for xfree?

I use ultra10 sparc with ati embedded.
On 2.4 it works fine.

Cheers.

There are kernel related changes in keyboard & mouse handling between kernels 2.4.xx and 2.6.xx in xorg-x11.
By extension, I would suppose also in xfree, but cannot say firsthand. If you want to look at the
changes for xorg-x11 when moving between kernels, check
http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/docs/xorg/xorg.conf/xorg.conf.html for a couple samples (using Creator or Elite graphics.)

If you are having problems that are ati related, I have no information, but I haven't heard of any.

Hope this is of some use,

Let me add a request. If you have everything working except for dri (drm, libGL, direct rendering, ...),
please indicate that. That probably would have nothing to do with your configuration, but we (well, I at least) would like to know about it.
(This would be kernel 2.6.7 specific).
Thanks,
