Hi all, I just got a "Target USB speaker converter", which is basically a USB sound card. I opened the case and found a Philips UDA1321PS chip, which seems to be the same chip as used in the Philips DSS 330 USB speakers, according to the linux-usb pages[1]. However, if I connect it to my laptop,

Great start. To complete it we need some info on the read/write interface. Is it the same as for other drivers? I have heard that read is called once after returning an EOF. Is this so? I suppose there are other interfaces also, e.g. ioctl, etc. George Jeff Garzik wrote: > > On Thu, 5 Oct

Hi there, just a side note. It is recommended that you use the mga.o from dri tree anyway... not the one from the kernel tree. That won't help much about the underlying problem with the loading order but since there is no way to compile the mga.o in from the dri tree the problem itself vanishes

Pardon my ignorance, but: Can anyone point me to a quick explaination of what kmem_grow: Called nonatomically from int - size-64 means or what to look for when you see something like this? I'm guessing size-64 is from the slab allocator... so kmalloc() or something is being called incorrectly

Hi Linus, Two patches for 2.4.0test9 configuration follow. 1. I found two bugs in configuration utilities: - Menuconfig doesn't ignore commented out "endmenu" commands (while commented out "mainmenu_option" it does). I don't think it is intentional... Especially as it breaks s390

As tigran mentions, you should not explicitly zero static vars. You need to ask yourself if TLAN will -ever- be used in a hotplug situation, ie. do you find TLAN hardware on CardBus or PCMCIA cards? If no, you should: s/__devinit/__init/ s/__devexit/__exit/ If yes, you have
