I converted several of my drivers to the new interface the best I could. The drivers are coded in such a way to make the final stages of your changes as trivial as possible. I did find a few bugs with the interface several months later, and had to undo some of the changes. However, all work on the new interface appeared to have stopped. _I_ didn't stop your fbdev changes. You stopped them yourself when other driver maintainers didn't comply with your ill-timed request. That caused me to have to back out some of the changes. And that's the situation today. If you want to carry on this slagging match... but its not getting either of us anywhere. -- Russell King (rmk@arm.linux.org.uk) The developer of ARM Linux http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Bringing you mounds of caffeinated joy. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
