#define quoting(Kazutaka YOKOTA) // >You said it would be "printed", so I imagine an array of strings. // // Ah, yes, information is stored in memory for later use AND a // human-readable string corresponding to the information is printed. // // The driver has the following static strings: // // "NetScroll Mouse", "NetMouse", "GlidePoint", "ThinkingMouse", // "IntelliMouse", "MouseMan+", "Generic PS/2 mouse" // // Maybe you are thinking this is too much? Sorry if I let you think it was personal. I'm not worried about one or two (or seven :) ) strings in kernel, but with the general growing interest in putting this kind of info in non-swapable memory. It's not a problem if you have a server with lots of memory, but it's a pain for small machines. Unfortunatly, kernel swapping or kernel routines memory disposal is not an easy thing to do.
