I'm not sure if we can find a real AC'97 device unless someone keeps ancient hw around. OTOH we have a ticket for AMD Lance too, so it's not alone in the museum department. > > And will you we willing to mentor such topics?

I think I'll just create tickets for the 1-2 broken devices I have access to. Although, it would be nice to get someone who is interested in the USB gadget side drivers. especially the HID library is heading in the "no one knows how it works and no one touches it" direction. > > >> port libusbx to HelenOS, this will open doors for linux uspace usb >> drviers (printers, ...) >> it might be part of a bigger project: >> port CUPS to HelenOS, we should have everything we need (USB, network) >> for basic printing support > > > Again, please feel free to draft a ticket for that.

I postponed creating the tickets. my idea was to have libusbx on the same level as libposix. i.e. provided for compatibility purposes only. But if there is no one who would maintain the cups/libusbx port after the end of gsoc it makes little sense. regards, jan > > > M.D. > > > _______________________________________________ > HelenOS-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.modry.cz/listinfo/helenos-devel _______________________________________________ HelenOS-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.modry.cz/listinfo/helenos-devel
