14 Apologies once more. Late last night I managed to get a Linux kernel
15 git repository set up. :-) So, at least if there are any more
16 failures, they'll be systematic failures rather than erratic failures.
17 ;-)

19 From this I've constructed a complete clean 5.14.5 patch, which I've
20 attached. Please start again from a gentoo-sources without any previous
21 traces of the scrollback patches, and apply that patch. _Surely_ it
22 should work this time.
23
24 To apply the patch (you surely know this already), cd to the top of the
25 kernel tree, and use
26
27 $ patch -p1 < 5.14.5-scroll-20210924.diff
28
29 .. Alternatively, if you've got git, you could use
30
31 $ git apply 5.14.5-scroll-20210924.diff
32
33 .. Please let me know again how it works out. Thanks!
