Hello, I am working on adapting FreeBSD to a Compaq IA-1. The display on this system is not DPMS compliant, so shutting off the backlight requires writing to a PCI register. I currently have a small C program which I can use to manipulate this register from the command line, and I would like to either integrate, or call, this code from the blanksaver module. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about how it works to change it. Could someone give me some tips on how to do this? Is it as simple as simply adding the code to the blank_saver() function, and adding the appropriate header and include files? I'm a bit nervous mucking in modules, as I understand they can cause "problems" that are hard to recover from. If it is, this would be a good place to initialize all of the front panel LED's as well :) Thanks, Seth Henry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
