Do you mean something like... sed 's/0x111, 0x2222/0x111, 0x2222, "The dev name"/'
You could do this in place or on a <radeon>-ids.h. I'm sure it would be better ro use an awk script to prune the info from <radeon>.h and just have it distributed by default. My vote is to have it bloat the kernel source, just not used. --- Dave Airlie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I had a good fix for this in one of my patches.
