Hm, it's been there for over a week from what I can tell, right?

I'll revert it after this batch goes into Linus's tree. Next time, warn
me a bit earlier :)

thanks,

Hmm yes, I suppose it has.

I apologize; I would have if I had realized that you picking it up meant it
was on its way to mainline.

So, are you happy with this in Linus's tree, or do you want it reverted?

thanks,

The problems with this patch include:
1. There's at least one subtlety I overlooked - switching between X servers
(i.e. from one X VT to another) still requires the cooperation of both
X servers. I was assuming that KMS eliminated this.
2. It hasn't been tested at all (no X server patch exists which uses the
new mode).

So yes, I think it would be wise to revert it. I'll resubmit the patch (in
a changed form or otherwise) when I've resolved these issues.

I apologize again for being late in telling you this stuff.

No problem, I'll go queue up the revert.
