Mutter. This stuff breaks my FC3 test box and there is, afaict, no clear way for users to upgrade udev to unbreak it.
As a developer I could of course bang on things until it works, but that's not the point. The point is that these patches break Linux on a major release from a major vendor only two years after its release. That's not a minor problem, is it? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
