I don't think this patch has ever been submitted upstream to Xorg. Whoever wants it integrated needs to do that.

Hi, Roman Mamedov r...@romanrm.ru (18/04/2011): So... with a patch available for 1 month+, why is this still not applied and uploaded? The driver is currently useless on MIPS without this patch.

Debian is one of them. Meaning nobody (generally) gets paid to work on it, and meaning stuff gets done when people have time to. With respect, Roman (You're actually not showing much respect here.) If you want to speed up things, get the patch reviewed upstream: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Everybody is free to join the maintenance team, and I did step up because there was no-one left. Now please get in sync with reality, I'm not preventing anyone to help on X packages, quite the contrary. KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
