after a long time of fiddling i just don't understand (i read the mans and docs) how you can checkout a specific git branch.

maybe you can tell me how to check out the latest and greatest from the radeonhd repo. or are all the branches (initial_atombios_support, CS, ...) already merged into master.

man git-checkout

git-checkout [-q] [-f] [[--track | --no-track] -b [-l]] [-m] [<branch>]

Skipping all theses additional options (q, f, b, l, m) will simply switch you to choosen branch. For example: git-checkout origin/CS

atombios branch was already merged HDMI-Audio wasn't merged but if you are going to test this, please note it's really old-version based initial-randr probably is merged as well

I guess it's the best option for you to use master branch.

thanks! i tried CS without origin/ as prefix. but it think i have no clue how git works. after the branch switch i tried git pull but apparently it isn't the right thing to do. nevermind. i just thought that the most recent changes to delivers 3d improvements reside there. i'll guess i have to wait until the next big master merges. regards thomas prochaska -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

Newer versions of git need --track for that.
