Fwd: Re: regression on RV280 card freeze, patch not applicable any more

[Jochen Rollwagen]

sorry about that.

Anyway, i checked drivers/gpu/drm/radeon and 
drivers/char/agp/uninorth-agp.c and can't seem to find the patch 
indicated below. Might it have gone missing :-) ?

Well........no. I checked the 3.4.64 kernel sources after my last Mail
and the code isn't in the drivers/gpu/drm/radeon sources. But of course
