To be more accurate, I know what "locked in physical memory" means. I dont know what is meant by "locked in kernel memory". Not being a linux kernel developer, I was hoping that either the original DRM coder, or a linux kernel developer, could explain what that phrase means. As I mentioned, under solaris at least, "physical memory" and "kernel memory" are two different things. In a solaris context, "locked in kernel memory" makes no sense. So I would like to see the current documentation clarified. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Tablet PC. Does your code think in ink?
