Whoa... like in two or more years from now :-(
Is there any extra reasonable lobbying the rest of us
could do ?
I tried the patches but my system fell over, probably
for other reasons (nvidia etc). I hope to try again rsn.
FWIW the -mm2 patch would not apply over a Gentoo patched
kernel but a "normal" kernel, 2.6.10 + rc3 + mm2, would
not load the nvidia-kernel (amd64) Gentoo ebuilt module.
