Do you have filled a bugzilla entry or have send previously messages to this list?
It would be nice to include references to both such actions if they took place. As there are quite a number of messages coming through this list, it is likely, that your messages didn't get noticed before.
[i searched through lkml for your mailadress and found some messages, which took me some time, but consider it a favour]: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/1/215 http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/30/731
Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ and classify it as a regression from 2.6.29. Also put all information available to you about this bug in there. This makes it easy to reference it.
The second step would be to assume that nobody noticed your messages before and thus include all relevant information in each message, making it easy for somebody reading it to understand what it is about. (if you just have to quote a bugzilla bug number, of course, that's easy)
The third step would probably be, to find someone to talk to. An email about i915 is likely to get more attention on intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org
And it would be kind of you to read http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/ . (spcifically the mailinglist 'rules'... )
out of respect to others, so that they (I?) don't have to do unnecessary work.
Especially: 1. If you are replying to a specific mail, plz include the relevant part of it you are replying to and 2. use your mail-clients reply-to-all button, so that the mail get's linked to the mail you are replying to.
Sincerely, Florian
