The patch only modifies driver for that specific card. So if you don't select that driver, you get exactly same kernel as from unpatched sources. And even if you had other computer with the same card, but not broken, the patch is harmless enough that you shouldn't bother with making different kernels. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@xxxxxx>
