What for?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Lines missing from /usr/src/linux/include/asm/uaccess.h:<BR> #define put_user_ret(x,ptr,ret) ({ if (put_user(x,ptr)) return ret; })<BR> #define get_user_ret(x,ptr,ret) ({ if (get_user(x,ptr)) return ret; })<BR> #define __put_user_ret(x,ptr,ret) ({ if (__put_user(x,ptr)) return ret; })<BR> #define __get_user_ret(x,ptr,ret) ({ if (__get_user(x,ptr)) return ret; })</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some modules will not compile without these lines included.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) Where are the drivers for bt878 (Video For Linux)?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4) Some of the device special files are missing when using devfs.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>devfsd is running (loaded at the beginning of rc.S by init).</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There was no /dev/lp0 on my system, even though module lp was loaded.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After creating this file explicitly with mknod, the printer worked.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5) This problem is probably the fault of X11 - it doesn't repaint the screen properly</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>after coming out of console mode.
