L4 and TUX

Latest release: 6.13

FAQ

Can I build in a separate directory than the source directory?
Yes, this is possible. Use O=../your/obj/dir for every make call.

The colors under DOpE or con look strange.
Most probably you have configured L⁴Linux with the VGA driver. Disable it (Device Driver -> Graphics Support -> Console display driver support -> VGA text console). While you are at it, also disable the mouse and keyboard drivers if you haven't done so already.

The mouse is trapped inside the DOpE window!
Press the 'Break' key to release it.

Under Fiasco-UX, I'm getting an error like this while starting L⁴Linux:
```
KERNEL: 11.3 (tcb=20441800) killed:

Your image probably still contains a driver or similar which tries to access the hardware. Under Fiasco-UX this will result in an exception. To find out which feature to disable in the Linux configuration, enter the kernel debugger with Ctrl-C, and enter ut11 64e3da[ENTER] to show a disassembly of task 11 at address 0x64e3da. Scroll a bit up to see the C file of the code. Now that you know the C file you can disable the appropriate option in the kernel configuration.

More to come...
