I've got lpp running under 2.4.21 -- I had to apply the patch for
2.4.20, which I got from the debian package kernel-patch-lpp but I
assume its also available elsewhere. It patched fine and worked as soon
as I'd changed the vga= line in my lilo.conf. Only problem I have now
is that my GeForce card TV-out starts in NTSC mode and I have a PAL TV,
but never mind.
