Its filename is > drm-avoid-switching-to-text-console-if-there-is-no-panic-timeout.patch I need to do another round of sending patches to maintainers. It's a depressing exercise because the great majority of patches are simply ignored. Last time I even added "please don't ignore" to the email Subject: on the more important ones. Sigh. > Where is mmotm hosted these days? On my disk, until kernel.org ftp access returns. But I regularly email tarballs to Stephen, so it's all in linux-next. The mmotm tree is largely unneeded now - use linux-next to get at -mm patches. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
