How can is see this code change date before compiling the sources?
It would be great if i am able see it directly in the source snapshot file
or cvs tree when opening the correct file with a text editor.
Where do i have to look for this code change date for the varios drivers
in the source code?
Is there also a code change date for the main and driver independent DRI files?
Best Regards
Oliver C.
