While this would work, it seems likely that the expected behaviour is for the graphics driver to call the NVIF method. We don't do that as yet, but when we do I'm worried about it potentially resulting in this system being in an unexpected state (NVIF is used, but we don't claim to be Vista). Can you add a comment indicating that it should be reverted once nouveau grows support? -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@...f.ucam.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
