Comment 41 for bug 189260

I had a look at the proposed patches from freedesktop.org and the Hardy kernel. The problem is that those patches are against the post 2.6.24 code. The driver code, as well as a lot of other drm code has changed substantially after the 2.6.24 kernel, so this would mean a huge effort to pick everything that is required and at the same time make sure nothing else breaks. So I think this should wait for later.
