Wouldn't this be better suited to a VST like implementation, but instead of using VST to dynamically adjust the timer divisor, it operates in a "fixed" mode? (I'm arguing this way because ARM has VST merged already, and all there are no changes required to the core kernel code to achieve this.) -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
