Hi,
I'm thinking about a device driver (for a framegrabber card, to be more specific) and it would need a quite large frame buffer because after a snapshot it should have the whole image at random access, if I read the code for video4linux correctly...
The problem is that I just found too few information to decide which one is correct, programmer's documentation seems to be quite sparse...
By the way, I would need a correct way to do buffer_mmap() operation (the driver end of mmap()) then, too.
Furthermore, is somewhere out there a compilation of questions like these ones? (How to write a driver, certain specifications for various device classes, documentation of certain kernel functions ect...)
Carsten
