Why do you expect kernel users (non-developers) to jump through hoops and cripple their systems in order to provide bug reports? Exactly how could I have tested MPLayer realistically without Xv support? It isn't that easy to swap video cards in a laptop. I noticed that after trying a new kernel a user space tool, which worked fine under earlier kernels, was no longer working. Linus himself said that this is worth pointing out. I did so. Yes, I was very fortunate in that someone else with a non-tainted kernel noticed a similar bug with /dev/rtc, and even more fortunate that Steven Rostedt provided a patch that worked for both of us. As I had said in my original post I was not expecting that, but thought the bug was worth reporting. DO YOU REALLY PREFER USERS NOT REPORT BUGS?
