I tried everything suggested in this forum.

Afterwards I installed the LTS kernel 2.6.32 and it compiled fine. So I guess the question is when is support for 2.6.36 coming?

correct, Linux kernel version 2.6.36 is currently not supported and providing support for it is scheduled for the time after we finish the development of Linux for our new products - the idea is to have Linux drivers for all of our products including the new one for Linux kernel versions up to 2.6.35 and then fix the compatibility problems for 2.6.36+ kernels.

Hi cody.

Am I going to have any problems compiling on the 2.6.35 kernel? I specifically need to be on that kernel in order to get my Intel HD graphics card working.

Thanks

hi, kernel 2.6.35 should be fine.

Any news on releasing as fully GPL, cleaning up the code as necessary and pushing support to mainline?
