Bug 79033 – Please include upstream fix for radeon BIOS hotkeys in xorg-x11

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-01-21 19:03:25 UTC]

Alex Deucher has added a patch to upstream xorg-x11 CVS HEAD which adds an option to enable BIOS hotkeys for switching video output on radeon graphic cards.

I have verified that this patch works with my IBM ThinkPad X31 and x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4, and I would love to see this patch included in the Gentoo xorg-x11 patch set.

Could you check whether it applies cleanly against our 6.8.1.902, and supply a clean one if it doesn't?

[Comment 2 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-01-22 04:10:28 UTC]

Will do.

5170_all_head-radeon-bioskeys.patch

This patch actually applies against xorg-x11-6.8.1.902 including the patches
currently in portage.

I am not sure of the naming of the patch: I chose '5170' to make the patch
apply after the other patches which affect the radeon driver, 'all' since it
should be applied for all archs - but I am not sure what the next element
(head) is supposed to indicate?

[Comment 5 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2005-02-03 00:59:34 UTC]

Added to 6.8.1.904.

[Comment 6 Colin Macdonald 2005-02-11 03:20:28 UTC]

Would this apply to the generic ati driver as well?  I just commented in fd.o #2000 that this problem happens on my Rage-based Thinkpad A21e (6.8.0-r3 currently)

[Comment 7 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-02-11 03:35:17 UTC]

No, this only applies to the 'radeon' driver.
