For devfs nothing is required. If the kernel supports the device then /dev/misc/apm_bios will be created when the module is loaded (or it'll be created at boot time if the driver is statically linked into the kernel). The devfsd program will create a symlink /dev/apm_bios when it is started with the default configuration. You don't need to do anything on devfs. I use /dev/apm_bios with devfs on the laptops I manage without any special work. Whatever happens, please make sure you do not directly mess with /dev on devfs. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
