I'll take a dig. The ones I've got are for 2.4 so relate to old code. > We could check for the kernel version.

The former would be a disaster for Fedora for example - we ship 'current' kernels and having kernel upgrades require a new X11 won't endear users . A runtime check on version might work I was wondering if it would be better to have an actual interface that said "do/do not restore the extra bits in kernel". That also avoids any suprises and regressions ? > Anyway, would my patch be acceptable for the kernel? I'm not video maintainer but other than the detection question it looks sensible to me. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
