I yet have to see it in the source tree... The driver works rather well and is a lot of fun watching mpeg system files in the vga console with the simple utility that Brian wrote. Whats left at least from my point of view is to add X Server support and the ability to read CD-I and VideoCD. This has proven very difficult for me so far whithout the docs so if anyone out there has the docs and can put up for ftp access a binary which can read CD-I or VideoCD it will help out a lot. Since not all cdrom drivers are white book or green book compliant, I have a: (aha0:2:0): "PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-4XCH 1.22" type 5 removable SCSI 2 Probably next week, I will start the work for the X server side of things.
