Asking for review and inclusion in the kernel

[BruceChang at via.com.tw]

Hello Tim:
    I don't think we can meet the schedule of 2.6.27. But thank you very much for adding the VIA_3364 ID. Regarding the remove of VT3336 ID and the behavior canges, I need to check with our engineers. 
Regards
Bruce C. Chang

Bruce,

Are these patches submitted for the 2.6.27 merge window? If so, I can just cherry-pick them for Intrepid when they appear in Linus' tee.

I've added the PCI ID for VIA_VT3364 to Hardy, but I did not remove the PCI ID for VIA_VT3336 as was indicated in the patch via-agp.patch-2.6.24. Was this an oversight? I'm not going to remove device support without some explanation.

I also incorporated the DRM patch, though I would have preferred to add it to Hardy LUM instead of the kernel. However, the new Chrome9 module requires kernel headers that are not included in the linux-headers package.

Can you describe what behavioral changes we might expect? I'm especially interested in regression possibilities for PCI ID 0x3230 ?

Please send future patch submissions as clear text.
