Re: [PLUG] No OpenGL on lenny upgrade
|
Last night I did what I had mentioned previously...just went and let it
pull in the 2.6.26-1 kernel image and matching kernel module. I
rebooted, using the 2.6.26-2 kernel and OpenGL is working correctly. I
then uninstalled the 2.6.26-1 kernel image. Some wasted bandwidth and
time, but no biggie. The real hassle was doing the clean install AFTER
doing the upgrade. I would have tried the module-assistant procedure
next if I hadn't re-installed.
Thanks for your help!
