Perhaps we should update the Config.in help text of the kernel-module-imx-gpu-viv package to indicate this ? I know people don't read the help text, but at least when it exists, we can point them to the help text, and the fact that they should read the documentation :-) Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering http://free-electrons.com
