Something along the lines of "Get > bent"? Calm down. Any argument along the lines of the change of a default value in the defconfig screwing people over equally applies the other way around; by not changing the defconfig, you're screwing laptop users (and others that want less power consumption) over. The world is not black and white, it's a very boring gray (or a very sadening bloody red; but I hope we won't come to that point just because of a silly argument on lkml...) In the end, Linus will decide this anyway. I can understand that you don't want to change your application. Help developing the dynamic tick patch, and maybe you won't have to =) Regards: David Weinehall -- /) David Weinehall /) Northern lights wander (\ // Maintainer of the v2.0 kernel // Dance across the winter sky // \) http://www.acc.umu.se/~tao/ (/ Full colour fire (/
