I'm sort of torn on this, when radeon KMS moves out of staging it will be disabled by default using the current option. It will build everything always and disable/enable like this patch does. I'm not willing to do that yet esp now in -rcX time as it might break builds on some other arches.
So if a distro isn't shipping a compatible userspace, I'd rather they didn't ship the kernel support built at all until we move it from staging.
AFAIK you guys don't use -ati on a lot of cards kms is useful so I'm not sure when you'll ever have a compatible userspace.
What should we do? The patch itself is trivial, so no hard work to maintain (mostly just for 2.6.31, though). Alternatively, we can disable modeset option in /etc/modprobe.d/*. OTOH, if the standard user-space stuff on 11.2 doesn't support KMS, it's actually safer to remove the feature from the kernel, as Dave suggested in the above. -- 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.
