Gatos - ATI-TV for GNU/Linux

To create a patch, first make sure you have a full tree of both the original and the modified trees (herin called "gatos-orig" and "gatos-new" respectively). Make sure each tree is clean by using: ->makedistclean in EACH directory. Then change to the directory immediately above these two directories and use the following command: ->diff-urgatos-origgatos-new>gatos-new-patch Look at gatos-new-patch (with a text editor or viewer) and make sure nothing is changed that you didn't intend to be. You can submit this patch to me either included in an e-mail, or as a MIME attachment, or you can compress it and send it as a MIME attachment, as follows: Compress it with: ->gzip-9gatos-new-patch Then send gatos-new-patch.gz to me as a MIME attachment. If there is a problem with the patch, or I have a question or the patch/description is not understood, you will get a reply, somakesureyourmessageisproperlyreply-able.
