Especially it contains acpi, software suspend, supermount and some hardware compatibility patches. Our goal is to create a kernel that runs all hardware found in current laptops. If you have laptop-specific patches you think that should be in laptopkernel, contact us or submit them through savannahs patch-tracker. Full list of patches below, it can be downloaded at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/laptopkernel/ laptopkernel-2.4.21-rc4-laptop1 contains the following patches: Patch: acpi-20030523 (www.sf.net/projects/acpi) The ACPI in current kernels is very outdated. Most laptops won't have any Powermanagement without the ACPI-Patch and some even won't boot. Patch: swsusp 19-27 (www.sf.net/projects/swsusp) Software Suspend makes hibernation possible in linux, which is a very important feature for laptops. Patch: agpgart from 2.4.21-rc2-ac3 (www.kernel.org) Laptops with the Centrino chipset need this for working agpgart, which is needed for hardware graphics acceleration (dri). Patch: drm modules from 2.4.21-rc2-ac3 (www.kernel.org) This update is needed for proper working dri in XFree 4.3. Patch: radeonfb from Benjamin Herrenschmidt (rsync -avz rsync.penguinppc.org::benh-devel/) Radeon 9000 won't work with radeonfb found in the current kernel. Patch: bcm440+bcm5700 driver (from Gentoo-Sources) Needed for Broadcom Network cards found in many laptops. Patch: vivicam usb mass storage support (from Lycoris-Kernel) Needed for Vivicam 355 (working as USB mass storage). Patch: supermount-1.2.6 (http://supermount-ng.sf.net) Supermount is a useful feature for desktop-pcs. Patch: Optimization for pentium3/4 (trivial) Makes gcc3-optimizations for pentium3/4 possible. (Note: pentium4-optimizations should only be used with gcc 3.2.3 and above. If you have an older gcc, please use pentium3.) --_O3+Pog=.7B294Ks Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+07jur2QksT29OyARAhjLAJ92OO7rJKm+/YEbDG24Elj9RHWhYwCeI60K pZGuNjFC+paYaqFYoqaZWTI= =daKm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --_O3+Pog=.7B294Ks-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
