Get it at https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/laptopkernel/ 2.4.21-rc8-laptop1 Updated patches: swsusp, supermount, agpgart, drm, broadcom New patches: acpi4asus, laptop_mode, sis-fb Patch: acpi-20030523 (www.sf.net/projects/acpi) The ACPI in current kernels is very outdated.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-1.0_pre7 (www.sf.net/projects/swsusp) Software Suspend makes hibernation possible in linux, which is a very important feature for laptops. Patch: supermount-1.2.7 (http://supermount-ng.sf.net) Supermount is a useful feature for desktop-pcs. Patch: agpgart from 2.4.21-rc7-ac1 (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-rc7-ac1 (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: bcm4400-2.0.2 + bcm5700-6.0.2 driver (from broadcom-ftp) 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: acpi4asus-0.23 (www.sf.net/projects/acpi4asus) Adds support for special acpi-events on asus-laptops. Patch: laptop_mode (www.sf.net/projects/swsusp) Adds laptop_mode, which can save battery power. Patch: SiS framebuffer update (www.winischhofer.net) Needed for some SiS-Cards. 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.) --=.Snq'2zVL/?7osJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+6OUPr2QksT29OyARAmYqAKCTotEm2zw6Ipfa39FVLiOwPgreCwCeMLJ+ xtigq6H1lOR+0Km1QxMCvuE= =EdB0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.Snq'2zVL/?7osJ-- - 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/
