Let's get the process moving on these patches so that they will be in place by the time OLS comes around. This patch is small and non-controversial. Let's get it started moving forward so that we can spend time on the complex ones. The complex ones will also need to get hammered out on LKML since they involve complicated hotplug code. The next patch will be the sysfs one but it is not ready yet. After that is the reset one. Next will be secondary head support in the radeon driver. These three will require a lot more code review. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
