Guidance please. Yeah, it's in the first one. My bad. I didn't notice, because that one got cancelled for other reasons and never even tested. That doesn't change the simple basic issue: how are people with Fedora-12 going to test any kernel out now? And are there libdrm versions that can handle _both_ cases, so that people can bisect things? IOW, even if you have a new libdrm, will it then work with the _old_ kernel too? Backwards compatibility is really important. Linus
