1 For many years I've been testing kernels from Linus's git repository

6 I have no idea how many of you like to test bleeding edge kernels but
7 I thought I'd ask. I have some seriously ugly hacks for building the
8 nvidia (and very recently) the ati proprietary drivers against git
9 kernels, but I won't spend time explaining them here if no one is
10 interested.
