Hi Aurélien,

how often shall I explain and repeat it to you?

There my STOLEN and further improved work is located.
Unfortunately without my CDDL license headers!

This is a LICENSE BREACH and may be prosecuted at some moment when I have less work and enough time.

That's a good one.
It is as if I tell my wife: Yeahh, I found a solution!!!! I made some room for one Billion USD in the basement.
Now we are finally ready to receive it, just in case anybody decides to sendf us 1 Billion USD.

I recommend you to read my messages.
Start with those from yesterday.

Wrong guess.
KMS didn't exist at that time.
It was a DRM radeon driver mathing the first drm submodule that was in OpenSolaris - from the stone age.

Because it dates back to 2006/2007 when it was ported over by the Sun Beijing team.
I myself ported that to SPARC in 2007.
So I - on contrast to most others - do know the code.

Hopeless to explain it to you. I did already, 200 times  ...



Kind regards,
