Yes. Copy the old .config file to the new kernel source directory, then
do 'make oldconfig'. It will use the old settings where it can and ask
you about any new ones.
No need to copy the file, just use "make cloneconfig" instead (without
the quotes of course). Then you can rune make menuconfig to make changes
or run make prepare_all.
David, Ken:
Thanks for the good advise. I'm going to give it a go and see just how
bad I can screw this up. Sheesh, rebuilding Xorg from source, then
rebuilding the kernel from source just to get dri, drm and mesa to work at
1680x1050. If you start seen posts about a kernel roll-back posted in an
apparent panic, you will know things are not going so well....
