You're right, of course. However, my libdrm proposal wasn't an attempt to change how we work, it was merely a re-organisation of the drm.git repo to better reflect and support the de facto workflow. Whether we want libdrm in the kernel tree or not is a different discussion from this, as I see it. It may or may not be a good idea, but I'd rather not block this clean up on that discussion ;-) cheers, Kristian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
