Another thought on this would be to allocate the fixed page in the device driver and create a permanent map entry for it. Then use the normal drmGetMap call and search through the maps to find it. This isn't much different than adding a permanent REGISTER or FB entry. You would probably need a new map type. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
