No argument from me :). I have always hated the dynamic resolution model used by DRM/AGP and (originally) MTD. I have a very dim and distant memory from about 6 years ago that somebody wanted the ability to run DRM with and without AGP support. IOW, the decision about whether to load AGP or not was left to the user, instead of AGP always being automatically loaded by modprobe. Again this comes down to static vs. dynamic symbol resolution. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
