I released the RC5 of kernel 5.4 for the X1000 and X5000 today.
New:
- Linux 5.4-rc5 Released As The "Kleptomaniac Octopus" -- phoronix.com
- Torvalds' release announcement
- X5000/20 and X5000/40: This kernel has been patched with the coherent_cache.patch again because of the issue with the onboard SD card.
- Linux Git log
- Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 5.4
BTW, I upgraded from a Radeon HD4870 to a HD6870 in my X5000/40 today. The HD6870 is a little bit faster but also a little bit louder. The interesting thing is, that the CPU temperature has decreased. With the HD4870 I had 80 degrees Celsius and with the HD6870 I have about 50 degrees Celsius CPU temperature. I think the Radeon HD4870 dissipated heat in the direction to the CPU.

Please test the kernels.
Thanks,
