This is where all Fedora kernels are born: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 If you download an rpm, you can install it with dnf -C [kernel package], *providing* that its dependencies are met on your Fedora version. This is how to compile a kernel from the src.rpm found at the above link. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel I don't do it that way since I've been doing it for a while, and have learned an alternate way that used to be suggested. But, that said, are you sure you need to do this? I don't run multiple monitors, but if you give some specifics, it might turn out that someone else can suggest a boot configuration or X configuration adjustment that will work. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
