Re: Kernel 2.6?

I'm running Fedora Core 2 Test 3 on mine right now.. and I'm trying to
solve the pen issue right now : ) .. I found a wacom module for 2.6 &
the 1100 which does the same thing as the fpi2002 module for the 1000,
and was going to try and compare them and see if I can make sense enough
of them to recreate a fpi module that'll work in 2.6.

I have not played with the ACPI sleep/suspend modes at all.

I had quite a bit of trouble getting grub working with the 2.6 kernels
on the TC1000... I originally had grub installed on a partition instead
of the mbr, but it it wouldn't boot the kernel for some reason once I
moved from a 2.4 kernel to a 2.6 kernel .. and XP overwrites the
everytime I log into windows (and everytime I shutdown, I've verified
this). So now I'm stuck doing this dos boot to get to a point where I
can overwrite the mbr with a grub install because that's the only way I
can get linux to boot.

If the above doesn't make sense, that's probably because the way this
works really doesn't make sense to me. I've been using linux since 94,
and I've never had to fight this much to have a dual boot setup before.
