There is a bunch of new modalias(pci:v00001002... lines now, so I suppose this will fix the issues with ATI cards. I leave the bug open, because the duplication is not solved yet. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

OTOH some firmware files are more up to date in the kernel tree, i.e. the firmware/ subdirectory in the kernel source and the linux-firmware repository diverge sometime :-(. Ideally, we would build and maintain linux-firmware in the kernel-source repository (and simply delete duplicates during build), but I'm affraid we should not due it due to the license reasons... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks for the hint about buildrequiring kernel-source, that should be fine from the legal side. Another option would be to buildrequire kernel-default, this would also allow to generate the modalias() supplement. A slight problem is that the package would not be 100% noarch anymore, as not all drivers are built on all architectures. This is why I didn't want to do it initially, but at least for openSUSE, we migth get away with it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
