[Q] kali linux on xoom - fb* kernel issue

[ilanp13]

hello,

i've got motorola xoom MZ604 (wifi-only), and following this link from kali linux, and also this one, i've managed to install kali linux natively on my xoom.
it is booting, i can login, i can connect to internet via wpa_supplicant and other methods, but i have one big issue - i can't get the Xserver to run.
looking it up - it is related to the fb* issue on the nvidia tegra here.
but when i try to recompile the kernel with the fix on that link, the compilation fails everytime.
is there a way to apply this patch to my already installed kali?
or rather - any other way to solve this?

thanks,
Ilan

Generally, it's bad practice to patch a compiled kernel. Occasionally I'll run into issues like this and I have to start over in a new source folder and try to recompile from scratch. If it succeeds, you know something was changed in your source other than your patch that borked it. If it fails, it sounds like the patch may not work.
