(There still seems to be an issue with the GUI of some applications like SMplayer and VLC. Can click once to acces a GUI function but then have to use the Arrow keys to navigate through the GUI) This has been an ongoing issue for a while now.

Virtual,ppce500: Many VirtIO Changes Land For Linux 6.0

Hi All,

I released the stable longterm kernel 5.10.133 for the X1000 and X5000 today.

It's suitable for old Linux distributions which don't work with the latest kernels for example Ubuntu 10.04. It's also suitable if you have some issues with the latest kernels.

Download: linux-image-5.10.133-X1000_X5000.tar.gz



Please test the kernel.
