https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94061 --- Comment #9 from Klaus Maier <abcdmail@xxxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to John Bridgman from comment #8) > Upstream kernel drivers are coded for the kernel version that they live in. That exactly is the problem - the missing downward compatibility. But there are a lot of drivers which can be used w/ older kernels: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/ This makes it possible to run the old working kernel w/o having the need to run a bleeding edge kernel which most of the time breaks some other devices (as w/ 3.19., which breaks USB on boot up here). And it makes it possible to compile just the module which is needed - de facto the same handling as it is provided by Catalyst. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
