Hello, My name is Leal, i'm brazillian and do no speak english very well... sorry. I'm a *nix user, administrator and fan: Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris... Posix rules! Now, my workstation is a Athlon 850, with realtek (net), sis 730 video card, and sis 7018 audio. Everything is fine... :)) almost everything... My workstation is without sound. Solaris do not have sis 7018 driver. The Linux do. FreeBSD too. I'm thinking about to port linux driver to solaris, but the driver license is GPL, and i do not know if i can do that (LGPL). This task will be for fun and to learn more about solaris... and *nix at all. Do you know about solaris modules? (documentation, howtos, examples) Do you know if i can do that (legal)? How much dependent is the sis 7018 driver to linux (FreeBSD)? Maybe i can use the FreeBSD (BSD license) driver... to port. Some tips... thanks very much!! omestre@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
