Regarding your work on Intel KMS it is indeed important to get more people to provide testing and feedback. Maybe Nikola at least will be able to do so but it would be nice to expand the circle ;) When I have the time I will upload kernel dumps and logs I collected and post a message to the ML to keep you updated.

I have and will always appreciate Martin's efforts, and in the past I contributed to him financially when I needed a working Firefox with flash support, but as an individual looking at OI as essentially a hobby now, I am not really in a position to do so again. As I said, thank you Martin, I have always been grateful for your contribution to the community, over all the years I have worked with Solaris, but my voice counts for almost nothing.

What Martib did is very important for our OS. At the moment we can only use nVIDIA graphics cards and this happens only because Oracle still supports Solaris 10. In fact, once KMS works flawless, people can work on making the ATI driver usable. And the next step would be to port the open source nVIDIA driver. This means that people will be able to run OI on almost any kind of computer! Now, why 4 people have expressed their gratitute I don't know! But maybe they are too shy to step forward :P :P :P A.S. -- Apostolos Syropoulos Xanthi, Greece ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
