| |
Ani,
I've seen your mails on LKML. I've also been using Ben's patch on my laptop happily for months. I do not want to argue which is right or wrong but just point out some facts :
- ATI embbeded controller is one of the most used for laptop (Ix86 and Macs), so having a good driver is indeed very important so please work toghether, - I've seen Ben's official announcement for his patch on LKML and applied the patch. I guess a *maintainer* should have been able to also see it and incorporate it or at least argues why he doesn't agree with proposed changes. I've haven't seen any public reply from you Ani to ben's original post, - You pretend 0.18 includes all ben's work which is apparently not true. This is at least misleading,
So, from theses pure facts, I would suggest that you :
- Improve at least the way you communicate with others trying to enhance the radeonfb driver even if its not their main job. What would have happened to linux if Linus or Allan would have refused patches coming from outside... - enhance *efficiently* the radeonfb driver instead of arguing over maintenance ownership...
A not so happy radeonbf user,
