Hi, You cant expect linux to simply give you permissions to access pheriperals and other stuffs. windows being 32-bit real mode OS allows all such stuffs and allows you to controll mouse , and play around with Interrupt Vector Table etc .. with an header file dos.h( with union REGS etc, I was an mad TSR writter long back )
linux being protected mode OS , kernel controlls all those things and direct access to IVTs and other peripherals are not allowed. hence no such header file named "dos.h", and if your aim is to do some GUI programming there is gtk libraries , python libraries like wxpython and pyqt etc , and controlling mouse and al such options are in it -- Vijeenrosh P.W CSE S3 blog : www.BlackJackVijeen.blogspot.com -- Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
