I think I missed some parts of that thread, what is Iris? I also reworked the JZ keypad driver to a large extend: http://projects.linuxtogo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/linux-2.6.24.3-minibook/drivers/input/keyboard/jz_keypad.c?revision=26&root=minibook-kernel&view=markup Though I also still do not use interrupts... but it work quite well now. > Thanks, > Bas Cheers nils faerber -- kernel concepts GbR Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Sieghuetter Hauptweg 48 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57072 Siegen Mob: +49-176-21024535 http://www.kernelconcepts.de _______________________________________________ Mipsbook-devel mailing list Mipsbook-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mipsbook-devel
