Linus, can we ever drop those old paths? Maybe after the new bits have been around for awhile? Users of really old userspace stacks would lose 3D support, but they'd still have 2D, so it wouldn't be a complete break. The non-KMS paths sometimes break like this anyway without us noticing (especially some of the weirder 3D paths)... Just thinking out loud, we could really kill a lot of really bad code... -- Jesse Barnes, Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
