Hello Sir: Thank you very much for your guideline. Honest speaking, they are still under processing to be submitted for upstream. Sorry for the trouble.

If so, can you provide a link to the thread upstream? This really should be submitted upstream first if it hasn't already. I'd also suggest sending patches directly to the ubuntu kernel team mailing list for review first rather than in this bug report. See https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kernel-team for more information about the mailing list. Also, you should break the patch up into separate patches so that things like whitespace changes are separate from actual code changes. It makes it easier to review the patch. Each patch should also contain a brief description of what the patch is. -- Hardy - Add support for more VIA Uni-Chrome 3D Engines https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253622 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.

As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel.

Hello Sir/Madam: Thank you very much for your help. Please be advised that the AGP module of the UniChrome has just been in MainLine kernel. And for the DRM module, we are still working on that. Since there are some VIA Unichorme graphic chip already in market for years and VIA will support Ubuntu distro, we would like to request your help to put them into your kernel so that VIA's driver can keep function even OS kernel is upgraded. I have been requested from many users and would like to request your help. Thanks and Best Regards Bruce C.

Is there a way you can reattach a cleaner patch which just reflects the code changes. Also, I'm curious if this has been submitted upstream as well? It is a lot of extra work for the Ubuntu kernel team to maintain out of tree patches. As such they typically require upstream submission first before agreeing to maintain patches locally.

RE: [Bug 253622] Re: Hardy - Add support for more VIA Uni-Chrome 3DEngines
Hello Leann:
After I check the kernel source, the DRM module is still not in
kernel. It will be helpful if you can integrate it into Ubuntu so that
the Unichrome 3D won't be malfunction in case kernel update. Please
kindly help.
Thanks and Best Regards

Thank you for your information. After checked the source, the AGP
