well, yeah, pagecount=0 is fine for an error flag :-) But when you're talking about page INDEX, aka "page offset", thats another thing that should be plain signed int. "off_t" is really only supposed to be used for DISK OFFSETS. It even specifically says it is for disk offsets, if you do grep 'off_t;' /usr/include/sys/types.h under either BSD or Solaris. _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
