I wasn't going to share a patch that didn't at least compile: I don't intend to waste any more of people's time than is absolutely necessary! :-) > Kudos to Paul! > > Next I will add Daniel’s patch and if you agree I will add your > “Signed-off”. Sure. As I noted to Daniel, I don't really understand signed-off-by, or rather, I understand now that it merely adds some kind of authorship claim but without any really credible guarantees of identity. But then again, it's not my Free Software project, so I don't have to handle the potential consequences.

I may also alert some of the qi-hardware list members to this thread, if they aren't already following it somehow. _______________________________________________ Mipsbook-devel mailing list Mipsbook-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mipsbook-devel
