For some reason the Nvidia people seem to be shy to post to mailing lists. iirc the thread which inspired this patch (together with several bugs in both novell and kernel.org bugzilla) was http://marc.info/?t=116175224500001&r=1&w=2 http://marc.info/?t=116230518000004&r=1&w=2 but you won't find the ultimate conclusion in there unfortunately. So you have to trust me on that -- it's a bit similar to as to I have to trust your not yet produced boot log and test results. -Andi -- 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/
