--- Comment #79 from Andreas Loew <[email protected]> ---
You're welcome! :-)

I did do this in my very own interest, because the OL6/RHEL6 install on my main
work laptop all of a sudden had this distortion issue when RHEL updated the
drm/nouveau module to an affected codebase in RHEL 6.5, so I definitely needed
a solution for this (other than get a new laptop)...

One final request from my side, as I don't have commercial RHEL6 support (I am
using the free OL6 clone):

Hoping that you have pretty good contact/access to Ben Skeggs (who I think
officially owns the nouveau modules at Red Hat), can you please approach him
and ask him to please take care of the fact that Red Hat also applies a
(backported) version of this patch to their mainline stock RHEL 6.5 kernels?

That would be great, as this is definitely needed to ensure that all those
people with the affected older/low-end NVIDIA notebook chips - such as myself
(and all the other now unfortunately silent people who initially created this
issue) - will no longer be affected by this issue in the current RHEL 6 kernels
(or don't need the explicit workaround using the kernel parameter PCRYPT=0)?

Thanks a million for your kind help & best regards from Germany,
Andreas
