I can also confirm that this does not work. I have attached a .config 
file in the first post of this thread (the one you were 'kind enough' to 
respond to) - try that and see:

1) That you get a compiled kernel rpm; and
2) That in the config file in the /boot directory of this kernel package 
you have CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4 (one 'unique' option to that particular 
.config); and
3) That you have the whole DRM_NOVEAU group of options as they *should* 
be the ones which are 'amalgamated' from the 'common' configs;

If you get all 3, then I and/or JD are doing something wrong, if not, 
your patch goes the way of the dodo!
