I think just the sequence that actually makes the machine work; the scarier patches are those which reduce the mode setting time from 5-10s down to .7s. Is this stretching the bounds of what is acceptable for -stable? Would it look better as a single patch, instead of 14 separate ones? > I'm all for enabling new hardware like this, and overall, the patches > aren't that bad, just want to verify this. Let me know what you think; they'll be queued for 3.2 once they've gotten review and (I hope) more testing. It's Jesse's fault there are so many little patches; he asked me to split things up into separate functional changes. It's either that, or I'm just looking to increase the number of patches I have in the kernel. > And, I do have to tell you, "curses, now I have no excuse to not buy > that laptop!" I'd rather have a 'regular' PC; getting Debian installed on this machine was no picnic. But, I haven't seen anything else in this form factor that includes a display port connector. =2D-=20 keith.packard@intel.com --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFOhYS1Qp8BWwlsTdMRAmLWAKDfCoN06BYafBtYfXpnapCNQ1eHxwCeMkUO s6soLu55siOnIYPEQ3+ve+M= =c6hp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
