Wed Aug 12 2009 Kyle McMartin <kyle@xxxxxxxxxx> - DRM patch sync-up with F-11-2.6.29.y, ABI probably isn't right yet though... - drm-modesetting-radeon.patch - drm-nouveau.patch - drm-no-gem-on-i8xx.patch - drm-i915-resume-force-mode.patch - drm-intel-big-hammer.patch - drm-intel-gen3-fb-hack.patch - drm-intel-hdmi-edid-fix.patch - drm-modesetting-radeon-fixes.patch - drm-radeon-new-pciids.patch - drm-dont-frob-i2c.patch - drm-intel-tv-fix.patch - drm-radeon-cs-oops-fix.patch - drm-pnp-add-resource-range-checker.patch - drm-i915-enable-mchbar.patch - The rest were merged upstream. Anyway, I understand you sentiment. I was bitten by Intel graphics bug (EQ overflowing) which wasn't fixed for all F11 life. Things are much better in F12 now. But still, without any bug number we have nothing to talk about. -- Tomasz Torcz There exists no separation between gods and men: xmpp: zdzichubg@xxxxxxxxx one blends softly casual into the other. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
