That was a copy of mail to EricA. Eric has been doing all of the changes to DRM lately but I haven't heard from him in a while. Micheal had a thing about conserving generic IOCTLs so we were overloading the stats function. I think it is better just to use more IOCTLs. Eric has also built versioning into the DRM interface. This should let us recover some of the IOCTL numbers that were wasted long ago. > > It's also not clear to me the X needs to know the IRQ number. > > Hasn't Michel been addressing the irq/get-unique() issue? Eric and I have been addressing get-unique(). As far as I know no one is addressing IRQ issues. I haven't looked at the IRQ code, but it just seems to me that user space has no business knowing the IRQ number. ===== Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
