Yeah. The Debian 2.4.5 kernel images have the required support. I'm working out a sigbus issue with the XFree86 server right now. After I resolve this (with much help from DaveM so far), then patches will get integrated. Dave has the server working for him locally. I actually have it working under 2.2.20pre1 kernels. For some reason, the sigbus pops up with 2.4.x kernels. Shouldn't be too much longer, and I'll post here with test .deb's.
