I only saw 2. Or do you mean the modifications of the 3 files? The patches look sane but you should change the global symbols to play nicer in the namespace.

Yeah, that shouldn't be that tough to do. It doesn't look like these changes handle scrolling of the console, do they? If so, don't you need to do more? I had some old patches around here that had devices that wanted to know cursor positioning, which I don't think this hook can handle :( thanks, greg k-h - 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/ | ||||||||||||
