Well, on my laptop, I'm currently dragging along 3 out-of-tree kernel modules. 2 are well-known binary blobs so it's between me and the vendor, as usual. The third is a USB webcam driver that happened to get caught at the wrong end of the colorspace-conversion-in-kernel bunfight in the V4L playpen. Somebody wants to figure out how to get the gspca drivers into the kernel, they're at http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html waiting for attention. ;) (Don't look at *me*, I don't understand the code, or the bunfight - I just happen to have one of the 244 supported webcams, and it works with that driver) --==_Exmh_1196204425_2895P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFHTKGJcC3lWbTT17ARAjgQAKCluFWSSLmEm7HErQspBjK/H//HIACghONZ fp5ZIi9y3DAH5dIj5ACLViI= =kEKB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1196204425_2895P-- - 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/
