Yes, sounds familiar. > I know how to write LCD driver and framebuffer in native Linux System. But > for L4Linux, I still have some question.

IRQs are always handled by the L4 side in L4Linux so this must be defined from the L4Linux side. Of course, the sole number must be big enough to cover the required interrupt that shall be used. > I found that there is l4fb.c as driver in driver/video, what's different > with the module in l4/pkg? The l4fb driver in L4Linux is a Linux framebuffer driver that docks to L4Re's framebuffer interface as a client so that L4Linux can output its framebuffer somewhere. l4/pkg/fb-drv provides a (one) framebuffer where a client can connect to, for example, L4Linux, or mag, which then multiplexes this single framebuffer to provide multiple client a separate (virtual) framebuffer. I.e. l4/pkg/fb-drv provides a framebuffer whereas l4fb.c uses a framebuffer. > And last question, how to run the driver I want to use? Basically, after providing all the requirements for the driver, you need to ensure the Linux core system actually calls into the driver. There are several ways but in the end you could always use an appropriate initcall yourself.
