btw, are you aware that 2.4.21-rc7-ac1 also contains radeonfb-updates
and p3/4 optimization-support?
see http://lkml.org/archive/2003/6/4/250/index.html
ok, now for the question i had in
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/laptopkernel-devel/2003-06/msg00000.html
how do you extract these (hanno/bernd) patches? is it possible that you
write down your working steps so i can use the same or a similar technique
to make individual patches for the modular version of the laptopkernel?
i simply do not want to stumble upon the same blocks you did when
arranging the laptopkernel, so some more information would be quite
helpful.
cheers and thanks,
sebastian
