Sorry if I step on someone's toes here, that's not my intention at all in such case. I'm not familiar with the procedures involved with patches, CVS and all that, and I do recognize that coding style and code quality are fundamental parts in a collaborated project such as freemint. I do however miss one fundamental piece in the puzzle - the user perspective. Helmut shows initiative which is extremely appreciated, so let's try these patches in action (Helmut could supply binaries perhaps?) and see what it's all about. If the changes works good IRL, let's help him clean it up (I'm no kernel hacker myself, but given a documented coding standard I could perhaps help out). Knowing myself I think it's easy to be put off even by minor friction like this. -- PeP
