I am running kernel 2.0.30 with an IBM (cyrix) 6x86. Is the patch
available for this kernel?

I tried this page on my machine (P166+, 64 megs, S3-964 card, 2.0.29,
XFree86 3.1.1) but get a lot of flicker in X. The config is

CONFIG_CYRIX=y
CONFIG_CYRIX_SUSP_HLT=y
CONFIG_CYRIX_FAST_IO=y
# CONFIG_CYRIX_5X86 is not set
CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86=y
CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86_NOLOCK=y
CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86_WTALLOC=y
CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86_BTB=y
# CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86_BTB_RISKY is not set
CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86_VSPM=y
# CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86_VSPM_NOTRADPAGE is not set

Has anyone seen this, and what's wrong? I haven't tried set6x86 yet.
