However, we do have a dependency issue in how we handle DRI2 in our Xorg stack, which is triggered by this patch. So, before we can integrate that patch, we need to fix the DRI2 stuff. I have a series in my tree handling that dependency fix, so I'll drag this fbturbo in my series. In the meantime, I'm marking this patch as "Deferred" in our Patchwork. No need to resend it, I'll be taking care of it carying this patch in my tree now. Thanks! :-) Regards, Yann E.
