I mmiotraced proprietary fglrx driver and proposed a patch for this. Alex said that time that reverse-engineered patches are not welcome upstream (various licensing issues, I suppose) and suggested to pull a set of initial patches for handling fan control through AMD IP bureaucracy. I agreed. This took around month or even more, IIRC. These shinies are not sort of things so easy to get from large corporation. In the end Alex handed me over these patches and I was able to fix typos and implement fan control for SI and CI cards. I can do it for r600, but again, I will need patches of same kind and moreover, working BARTS GPU in St. Petersburg where I live to test and debug it.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
