BTTV detection broken in 2.4.0-test11-pre5

2000-11-16 Thread Werner Almesberger
to 2 in 2.4.0-test11-pre5, the card is properly initialized and works. Not sure what the correct fix is. Maybe to fall back to vendor/device ID if there's no subsystem information ? - Werner -- cut here --- # lspci -v -s 00:0f.0

Re: [patch] For 2.4: syscall revoke.

2000-10-17 Thread Dr. Werner Fink
So ... how can a revoke system call be implemented without changing vfs too much? IMHO this system call is missed. There are some really interesting interfaces using block or character devices which shouldn't be usable for users because of the lack of secure revoking of such a device.
