Hi I am working here at a Tablet PC with serial touscreen controller . For whatever reason this controller now is configured to have COM1 at 0x220 and not at 3F8 . Is the aera of the "wellknown legacy " ports over and therefore it is becoming more rare that wellknown IO are dissapearing. Would it be therefore worth investigating the possibility to not hardcode this in include/asm-i386/serial.h ? Or am i just in a lucky situation that some littel taiwanese did make a joke of the week and programmed the serial at this IO ? Since i got it working now with a patch include/asm-i386/serial.h and kinda fine with it. Of course i would love to have the ability to maybe load the serial driver ( serial.o ) with a paramter telling where to search ? Or could it be a easy thing to have a addittional module loaded which changes this config at runtime ... so i dont need a "special patched " kernel ? Just curious Robert -- ____________________________________ *Robert Woerle * *Technical Product Manager 2L Computers BV* * *Niederlassung Deutschland* *Pace/Blade/ /- /Commodore - Conceptronic* ** * phone: +49 89 552 999 34 fax: +49 89 552 999 10 email: robert@paceblade.com <mailto:robert@paceblade.com> web: http://www.paceblade.com <http://www.paceblade.com/> _____________________________________ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
