From 1ca137cdcd4e11af03dbe073d48a470b833a456d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Airlie Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2010 19:02:24 +1000 Subject: drm/radeon/kms: change Kconfig text to reflect the new option. Ingo pointed out that we really don't give the user enough warning to make a decision here. So revise the Kconfig text with a better warning.
