Hi Coleman, > linux kernel running within FreeBSD, but rather a translation layer that re= > codes > system calls for FreeBSD before the system handles them. Kernel objects > are a far different story. you seem right. The module is not called a kernel module because it bundles the glx modules traffic to the kernel, it seems to be a kernel object - and such can't be interpreted by the Linuxlator. I need to get familiar with at least two topics: - how FreeBSD kernel modules work - how to add a driver Every time I try to tackle these topics, I seem to have not much more choice than strolling through the existing code and hoping for enlightenment.. :) Regards, Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
