VIA's DRM Patches Finally Get Some Feedback
![X.ORG](/assets/categories/xorg.webp)
VMware's Thomas Hellström who previously wrote a new VIA 3D Linux stack was the one that commented on this newest set of patches from VIA. Thomas ended up acknowledging one of the patches that fixes a video hang issue (1), expressed four key problems with the VIA DRM patch that adds suspend/resume support through ACPI (2), and then the third patch also had technical issues with it (3).
With the Linux 2.6.33 kernel merge window soon opening, it's unlikely we will see any revised patches from VIA up for review again prior to Linux 2.6.34.
