Delete Package kernel26-drm

[Alexander Lam]

Hello,

Please delete kernel26-drm. I accidentally gave it that name when updating
kernel26-nodrm

Cheers,
Alexander Lam

What's the point of this nodrm kernel ?

"This kernel is missing built in DRM on purpose, in order to allow the
out of kernel DRM modules like aur/mach64drm compile and function
properly"

I don't understand this. What prevents you to build out of kernel drm
modules with a normal kernel ?

For some reason, if the in kernel DRM was selected at compile time, *even*
if the out of kernel DRM is compiled and the in kernel-source-tree module is
replaced by the out-of-tree module, it won't work. I will check if the
situation has changed. (this began at 2.6.27)

Maybe you should define "won't work".
You need to install your modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/
to avoid conflicts and to get the priority on others.
See for example
