Windows has drivers, Linux has drivers, FreeBSD has nothing. (Diane Bruce: Hi! You might remember this rant of mine from a while back :) ) But, I did actually find something which almost does the job - PPS. (RFC2783) It's implemented in sio.c, but stops short of being useful (does not provide blocking). So I figure it must either provide blocking, or return a list of events instead of just 1. But that'd break the API in the RFC...thankfully the RFC is not a standard yet. So as it stands, FBSD is still incapable of dealing with remote controls. --Bart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-realtime" in the body of the message
