That's probably a gross overstatement of my experience with the kernel headers :) I believe sisfb.h is proper public API. I don't know who uses it (DirectFB shows up on Google code search), but that's been exported from the kernel pretty much since David Woodhouse added the headers_install stuff. Additionally, it appears 2.6.24 will have two more headers in there, uvesa.h and edid.h. So, I'd suspect the video/ headers are proper API for Linux and don't conflict with anything else, like glibc. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
