Also relies on this patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=4f81f986761a7663db7d24d24cd6ae68008f1fc2 > And this is only for the 3.5-stable series, nothing older like 3.4 or > 3.2 or 3.0, right? It should apply fine to older kernels as well I think. The set allows the radeon driver to work on UEFI systems that don't put a copy of the vbios in the legacy vga location. In that case the image must be fetched from ACPI. It would be nice to have in at least 3.4. The same applies to this patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=c61e2775873f603148e8e998a938721b7d222d24 It allows the radeon driver to work on systems with a radeon on a thunderbolt dock.
