You might try playing with --compose-encoding as an option, but I do have to say, I have had problems with this as well, it might be better to ask this on the git mailing list as it's not a staging driver specific question. Feel free to cc: me as I want to know how to do this properly as well. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
