Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Fri, 21 Mar 1997 01:46:57 -0800 From: Amancio Hasty Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I am thinking about loadable sound drivers and video drivers which require continuous physical memory. In the case of the video drivers we may want to allocate as much as 2 megabytes of physical memory. Does current support such a memory allocation scheme? Tnks, Amancio
