I would happy to give it a try on the "brand new" iBook G4 I just
got this week-end but I would need you to reformat your patch.
Could you please send it again to the mailing using :
git send-email --to [email protected] my.patch
You might want to run the script ./scripts/checkpatch.pl on the
patch file before sending.
Cheers,
C.
