Viewsonic n710 driver

Please read the Changes file, as it contains information about the problems, which may result by upgrading your kernel. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats: PostScript. After installation, "make psdocs", "make pdfdocs", "make htmldocs", or "make mandocs" will render the documentation in the requested format.

This area has a usually incomplete set of kernel headers that are used by the library header files. They should match the library, and not get messed up by whatever the kernel-du-jour happens to be. Patches are distributed in the traditional gzip and the newer bzip2 format. To install by patching, get all the newer patch files, enter the top level directory of the kernel source linux If there are, either you or me has made a mistake.

Unlike patches for the 3. Alternatively, the script patch-kernel can be used to automate this process. It determines the current kernel version and applies any patches found. Patches are applied from the current directory, but an alternative directory can be specified as the second argument. For example, if your base kernel is 3. Similarly, if you are running kernel version 3. Beware that using excessively old versions of these packages can cause indirect errors that are very difficult to track down, so don't assume that you can just update packages when obvious problems arise during build or operation.

BUILD directory for the kernel: When compiling the kernel all output files will per default be stored together with the kernel source code. New configuration options are added in each release, and odd problems will turn up if the configuration files are not set up as expected.

If you want to carry your existing configuration to a new version with minimal work, use "make oldconfig", which will only ask you for the answers to new questions. Additionally updates the dependencies. Use "make help" to get a list of all available platforms of your architecture. NOTES on "make config": - having unnecessary drivers will make the kernel bigger, and can under some circumstances lead to problems: probing for a nonexistent controller card may confuse your other controllers - compiling the kernel with "Processor type" set higher than will result in a kernel that does NOT work on a The kernel will detect this on bootup, and give up.

The kernel will be slightly larger, but will work on different machines regardless of whether they have a math coprocessor or not. Thus you should probably answer 'n' to the questions for "development", "experimental", or "debugging" features. Please note that you can still run a. It is also possible to do "make install" if you have lilo installed to suit the kernel makefiles, but you may want to check your particular lilo setup first.

To do the actual install you have to be root, but none of the normal build should require that. Don't take the name of root in vain. However, sometimes you or other kernel developers need to see compile, link, or other commands exactly as they are executed.

For this, use "verbose" build mode. This is especially true for the development releases, since each new release contains new code which has not been debugged. Make sure you keep a backup of the modules corresponding to that kernel, as well.

To use the new kernel, save a copy of the old image and copy the new image over the old one. If you don't, you won't be able to boot the new kernel image. See the LILO docs for more information. After reinstalling LILO, you should be all set. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.

What is a BETA? BETA describes a new version that is reliable yet may not include all the features of the final product. During this phase we are previewing new features and gathering customer input to insure our product provides the best experience possible.
