Jean-Yves,

Thanks for responding to my email.  After I received the first respone, I
read about the patch.  Further down that page I saw that you had submitted a
revamped patch.  Thanks so much for your work with VDPAU and now with this.
I didn't see this answered anywhere, but I take it that your patch is not
included in your Ubuntu repo?

Jim
