<div>I agree fully with you: Xubuntu 12.04
should stay on 3.2.0 kernel. But why should Xubuntu 12.04.4 stay
on it? If everybody can still use the 12.04 distro if having
driver trouble?<br>

<div>I don't agree with this. In my opinion, Xubuntu 12.04
should stay with the 3.2.x-kernel. <br>
<br>
Because it's currently the only kernel (plus the X.org version
that goes with it) that still supports the restricted
nvidia-96 driver for old Nvidia video cards. Same goes for
third-party SiS 671 drivers.<br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Xubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
does not support the hardware stack Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
supports. It stays on the 3.2.0 kernel instead. What is
the process to have this fixed? Withdraw Xubuntu 12.04.4
LTS or create a Xubuntu 12.04.4a LTS? I am ready to fix
this distro (at least for 686 and amd64 architectures) and
make it available for download through my FTP and HTTP
servers. What is the correct process for this?<br>
