If so, I do not think that patch > works! Yes, it does. Take a look at drivers/staging/Kconfig and note the part where it sources in drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/Kconfig, and then take a look at your config overrides, which have CONFIG_STAGING disabled. No staging, no nouveau. Technically, upstream probably ought to move the sourcing of the nouveau Kconfig file over to drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig now, but the patch works entirely correctly here. -- Jarod Wilson jarod@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
