Most of it, yeah. Some parts hitch a ride on top of existing code though, such as init and de-init functions. Some extra fields are added to some of the data structures, etc. I'm not sure I understand what you mean with not blowing up the source. Not defining USE_PROCFS gives you the old driver, line-for-line. Notice the patch has basically no "-" lines, I have not altered the existing driver, but do all workarounds inside USE_PROCFS, so that I don't screw up something that works :-)) So the compiled module is exactly what it was without proc_fs. Do you mean source code complication itself (i.e. moving as much proc_fs code as possible out of the driver code into seperate files)? I will fix that anyway, even on principle :-) Any thoughts on directory/file layout in procfs? Is /proc/dvb even a good place? Any pointers I should follow while moving all proc_fs code to seperate file(s)? Thanks for the support :-) Dennis -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
