Pkg xen devel - Aug 2010 - Graphics driver fixes for squeeze kernel-xen ?

Hello,

Is there a plan to update the dom0-capable kernel to the latest
version from xen/stable-2.6.32.x branch? A lot of graphics related
fixes are now merged, and they make most of the graphics adapters
(and KMS modesetting) work ok.

Please send such mails to the maintainer of the package, not me.

However not this part. Only small commits are fixes and I consider the
rest as hacks.

Oh, kernel update form xen/stable-2.6.32.x will bring
Xen PV-on-HVM drivers aswell..

Allowing fully virtualized (Xen HVM) guests use paravirtualized
disk/net devices and perform much better.

Those drivers are also merged to upstream kernel.org 2.6.36.
