Version check

Try this patch, I am not sure if its affected by the work queue changes with
2.6.20 - and I don't have the hardware handy, but I figured I would write the
version check patch at least - this patch should apply cleanly to beta1, and
also work with kernels 2.6.19 and below (at least)

I did something similar by hand to make it compile for me, but I am trying out
your patch and cant get it to apply...

I tried to use this in the ebuild:

src_unpack() {
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-version-check.patch
}

I'm sure it is my fault but it is complaining that it can't find the files to
patch.

I also tried to have the ebuild apply the patch and failed. The ebuild seems to
completely bypass unpack(), but I don't know how. I wonder if it has anything
to do with the linux-mod eclass. But I looked at the eclass code and didn't
find anything that seems to override the default behavior of unpack(). I was
going to submit the bug upstream, since that's where I think it belongs, but
... I don't have an account at berlios. Yeah, I know. Laziness kicked in.

The patch easly works when i do it by hand, if someone could add it to the tree
it would be nice :)

I've added a bug report for a CVS ebuild
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173034) It compiles and runs with my
2.6.20 kernel. The only thing broken now is Xorg :(
