By golly, rc3 seems to work on my machine too! I was going to add a screen dump to prove it, but lately attempts to add an attachment get me this message:

Code: Select all

Error

Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.

An interesting difference between this and the first version of rc2 which I had used for a couple days is that I no longer have to type in "ffienix" to log in. Rc2 regularly ignored the first "f."

Kilaueabart,

Many thanks for testing the RC3!

Cheers,
Christian

Hi All,

I released the RC5 of kernel 5.9 for the X1000 and X5000 today.

New:

• Linux 5.9-rc5 Looks Fairly Normal Aside From Wildfires + Performance Regression -- phoronix.com
• Emulated e5500 machine:
  virtio:
  - Fix double free in virtio
  - Fix virtio unblank
  - Remove output->enabled from virtio, as it should use crtc_state
  Link: drm-fixes-2020-09-11
  We don't need the 1-2-drm-virtio-fix-unblank patch and the virtio_gpu-v3 patch anymore.
• Linux 5.9-rc5 release announcement
• Linux Git log
• Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 5.9
