You should not mkdir("/dev/dri"); Sure, how do you tell at run time whether a system is running DEVFS or not, and whether or not the path you want is devfs (troll mountpoints?). It's possible to run DEVFS, but, setup a jail with a standard /dev/ isn't it? There are going to be other things that assume that /dev/ is just another directory and are going to try to mkdir /dev/foo. Bear in mind this isn't my code, I just wanted it running... d8) I'll remove the mkdirs and leave the make_devs in and see how we go. Are there caveats with make_dev and DEVFS e.g. it only wants relative paths not full paths? -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
