I would first check what Linux ioctls are being used, whether they're actually needed or could be replaced by portable code, and if not then specifically check what's available on other kernels. I think your question is too generic to obtain a useful answer. Try referencing specific ioctl macros or the code that uses them. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
