Description Adam Walters 2006-12-14 03:28:27 UTC

Hi,

I have made a patch, and subsequent ebuild to add 2.6.18 support into ati-drivers-8.27.10. It patches make.sh and firegl_public.c to point to new locations (and also removes references to VM_SHM, which was listed as useless in the kernel source for previous 2.6 kernel versions.) VM_SHM was defined as 0x00000000.

I named my ebuild ati-drivers-8.27.10-r2.ebuild, and my patch ati-drivers-2.6.18.patch.

Proposed ebuild to support my patch. I noticed the 2.6.19 patch was blindly committed to the source in 8.30.3-r1, so I did the same.

Patch to make the compile work on 2.6.18.

Here is the patch to make the public code compile under linux kernel version 2.6.18. It just removes reference to VM_SHM and tells compiler to look in linux/utsrelease.h for UTS_RELEASE instead of linux/version.h.
