Here's a new kernel/server built by Anthony Tong (the same one who
brought you virtual console switching in Xwindows).  Assuming things go
well, these patches will be in the next source drop.  -- gc

Here's the description:

The Mklinux server (vmlinux) in this directory fixes the problem under X
Windows of the display being disrupted whenever the first ppp connection
is made. The message causing this has been disabled.

The Mach Kernel (Mach_Kernel) in this directory addresses two problems.
The first is that 16-bit color support on ATI graphics chipsets now functions
properly.  This results in the appropriate white on blue console as well
as accurate colors now under X windows.  The second fix is that write-caching
is now enabled on the video console resulting in improved performance under
X for such things as window drags in KDE.

As usual, the Mach_Kernel replaces the Mach Kernel in the Extensions folder,
(don't forget to gunzip it properly and remove the underscore).  The vmlinux
replaces the one in the /mach_servers directory.

Please direct feedback for these components to the mklinux-setup mailing list.

Thanks once again to Anthony Tong for these new fixes.
