It isn't clear that making the popdown insensitive is the right solution. Why should it appear at all if there is no sharing? -walter On 8/16/07, Zarro Boogs per Child [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: #2819: need way to make a non-sharable activity

It might be nice if there were a driver to access the GPIO, but I didn't see one in a quick scan of the kernel source. It turns out that there is a GPIO driver - the source is in char/drivers/cs5535_gpio.c - and it is available as a kernel module: modprobe cs5535_gpio However, nobody
