I literally just swapped a leo back into my SS10 two days ago. It worked fine with console and X earlier with Woody and now with Sarge (XFree86 4.2 I believe). XF86Config-4 settings = 32 bits per pixel, 1280x1024 res. Perhaps the anti-leo+10'ers are concerned about heat. I don't run my box for extended periods. No heat-related problems -- it's very reliable in general. I put the leo in the upper SBUS slots, and I have a network card below them. Two SM51 CPU cards. (Aside: This box is very responsive under X with the leo.) > I'm not sure if this is a kernel issue, but since I *just* got this box and > *just* got debian installed on it I'm not completely sure what the best > versions of whatever I should be using. I think I'm using kernel 2.2.19 SMP. The kernel's framebuffer support drives the leo too, i.e. I see two penguins when booting. No special args to silo. Do you see a Penguin? Then your kernel is ok. -- SP
