From 11640d95499d6d7e948c888661762eb14763d3a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Hartzell <hartzell@delicious.alerce.com> Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2008 11:03:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add a bit of info to the README to help FreeBSD users who are having
I recently submitted a small bug report (#16281) describing goofyness in how the radeonhd driver numbered the connectors on a ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT on a mac pro. I tried the git port, the docs portion of which didn't cleanly build. I ignored it for my purposes, experimented with the newer driver (just built in src) and filed the bug. I just got spanked for not reading the driver's README, when in fact I had and it was neither directly relevant nor directly helpful. I did a bit more digging this morning and discovered what one needs to do to get the build to work on my FreeBSD system. As suggested in the README, I'm send the following two line patch to the README to the mailing list. As an aside, the git incantation that the README recommends for generating patch files doesn't work with my git (1.5.5 on FreeBSD-STABLE), I generated the patch with: git-format-patch origin Thanks, g. trouble building the driver. --- README | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/README b/README index 851b6d3..29b9b68 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -161,6 +161,8 @@ Make sure you have all required X.org development packages installed.
