If #2 is a foregone conclusion, then there's little point in applying the patches. The only benefit I can think of that if the complete removal is reverted in the future, this specific problem will at least be fixed. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
