already vetoed countless times upstream, and we don't intend to diverge. Vetoed on the basis that if Linux devs don't fix it then hardware developers will have more incentive to make thier harware work with it. Unfortunately this is not happening in the real world and indeed is getting worse with the latest Vista laptops which specifically switch off functionality if the hardware is not running vista. if ( vista ); then not just the bells, but also the whistles. else who cares? Just tell them it's not supported. fi Oh well, I guess hacking at the hardware it is then. |
