No, that's _way_ too unstable for us to take at this point in time.
I disagree: I have used stable openSUSE, Kernel:HEAD and home:jobermayr (latest DRM code) for ~ 1 1/2 years. The only problems I have experienced during this time were crashes at an early point when openSUSE Kernel developers changed something in code. (see some bug reports or reports on mailing list)
If you need this, then I suggest that you wait 3 months till it is in the .38 stable kernel, which will show up in Tumbleweed.
I do not think it is a good idea having a new system like AMD Fusion, Intel Sandy Brigde or a new graphic card supported by this commit and you cannot use it by default because openSUSE's kernel maintainers didn't pull and test a ~ 3 month old thing (at openSUSE 11.4 release time). And note: "13:53 #nouveau: < shining^> 'It's still way too much for a production system' - who said nouveau was ready for a production system ?" (see: http://people.freedesktop.org/~cbrill/dri-log//dri-devel-2010-10-18.log)
But for us to add this to our .37 kernel seems to be a very big effort, without much benefit at the moment.
I vote for including it since there are ~ 2 months left for testing. If there are to much regressions it can also be removed before RC ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
