Hi,

Is it possible to add these two patches to kernel 2.6.39 in Kernel:stable ?

These patches solve rendering corruption/crashes with radeon driver on

evergreen+ asic( apu that ships on AMD Zacate/Lano cpu).

I already tested them in a local repository and can ensure they work on my netbook :

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Avlj%3Abranches%3AKern...

Why not work with the upstream developers to get them into the .39-stable kernel releases, so they will trickle automatically into Kernel:stable for us, and for all other distros and community members who use the kernel.org releases?

thanks,
