From: sperber@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de (Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor]) Date: 19 Nov 2001 11:40:09 +0100 Message-ID: Lines: 24 User-Agent: Gnus/5.090003 (Oort Gnus v0.03) XEmacs/21.5 (anise) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I've written completed a driver for Sunlite's USB DMX512 interface: http://nicolaudie.com/cgi-bin/bin?site=nicolaudie.com&lang=si For those who don't know, DMX512 is the standard control protocol for stage lighting, and it let's people use programs like Lula http://www-pu.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/lula/index-english.html for lighting control instead of specialized, customized, expensive and bulky control consoles. The name of the driver is currently "udmx" to allow for the inclusion of other USB DMX devices. It would be nice to have a device major number allocated for it. I'm not sure if this needs to be coordinated with the USB developers and/or NetBSD, and I'd appreciate if anybody could let me know what needs to be done. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
