Re: console for an alphastation200?

Hmmmm...here we go again :-)
What's your compiler version?  How about a copy of your .config?
What's your video hardware?  Most of the recently surplused AS200's
had an S3 card if one was included.  To paraphrase a very recent post:
There's a metric boatload of people ready to help.  Please provide
enough info and you'll be outa the woods in no time!  Unless you have
some really weird hardware, you don't need to modify the sources
at all.  Especially with 2.2.0-pre-2.
