Even if you have a fully functioning stub driver it is not going to make the i915 work. If we want the i915 working someone is still going to have to fix the suspend/resume and mode setting code. The radeon is messed up because of conflicts between the drivers, the i915 is simply missing needed code - a stub won't help it. I can also predict the probable outcome on kernel submission if we use the stub to start building suspend/resume in two different places - DRM and fbdev. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
