Re: Radeon KMS removed from linux-image-3.2.0-4-mckinley 3.2.35-2
Hello,
Sorry, I was unclear!
When Ben told that "KMS is currently non-functional on most non-x86
laptops" [1], was he referring to this particular kernel version, or
more generally?
In short, should file a bug asking to enable back Radeon KMS for
current kernel 3.2.35-1 or for forthcoming > 3.2 kernels (I had no
problem with Radeon KMS enabled on Gentoo with kernel 3.5)?
BTW, bug #628972 was reported against PPC. Does it mean that Radeon
KMS was nevertheless disabled for all architectures? This sounds a
little bit overkill...
Thanks,
Emeric
