Frank, do you know how to create a patch using Git?
If you don't, I can give you detailed instructions on how to do it.
You can write a short description on how the patch will fix a bug we found in
the code.
After that, you can post the patch on dri-devel mailing list.
<a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel</a>
There is a correct way to do this from Git, and again, I can give you
instructions on how to do it, if you do not know how to do this.
After that, I can do a commit of the code, assuming that my freedesktop.org
commit privilege works in the first place for drm-openchrome repository.
I say this because when I tried to do a commit for a different DDX project
(xf86-video-r128) recently, I was not able to do a commit for that project.
I presumably have to obtain an additional commit privilege to do a commit on
that project.</pre>
