Thanks for pointing this out - I'll test that too.

I'm a retard. I was doing this inside an RPM spec file and I forgot to
increment the number for the %patchX macro.... So I was immediately
applying the same patch twice (hense the -R would work!!) Sorry for the
noise.
But while I'm here, our (Mandriva) package contains the following
patch.... not sure if it's needed or if it should be up stream? I've
attached it - it relates to VT switching but no idea if it is needed or
fixes anything!.
FWIW, I'm trying this patch as I get acpi_video related kernel oopses
with 2.6.19 vanilla on Core 2 Duo and want to see if this help!
