I need a major number for the VGA device. I used register_chrdev_region() to free up some space from DRM. First 512 minors are assigned to DRM then I need a few starting at 226,512 for vga devices. I could use dynamic majors for the VGA device but that would mean that everyone needs udev and you can't count on that yet. The two constants I need are DRM_MAJOR and DRM_MAX_MINOR. I don't really need DRM_MAX_MINOR, I just use it in a compile time check to make sure things don't over lap.
Why is this protected with the xfree version check? drm.h... #if CONFIG_XFREE86_VERSION >= XFREE86_VERSION(4,1,0,0) #ifdef __OpenBSD__ #define DRM_MAJOR 81 #endif #if defined(__linux__) || defined(__NetBSD__) #define DRM_MAJOR 226 #endif #define DRM_MAX_MINOR 15 #endif On Fri, 10 Sep 2004 23:10:46 +0100, Alan Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Gwe, 2004-09-10 at 22:56, Jon Smirl wrote: > > drm.h should be located in /include/linux/ or /include/video instead > > of /drivers/char/drm.
