Hi Nathan, I've just made an experimental module which offers syscall to privileged process, which internally translates itself into real sysrq handler (handle_sysrq) defined in drivers/char/sysrq.c. It occupates itself one of unussed linux system calls (concretely stty - no. 31). Makefile

Some stupid questions about videomem: 1) How do 2 or more X servers, or svgalibbed apps share the same physical video memory ? Does it get saved to ram when switching between them ? 2) Does console switching (gfx or text) save and restore all registers of videocard in kernel ? Or kernel only

It is a very good idea, and to implement quite easy. You just do have to diff between three types of video cards (MDA, MGA and HGC vs. CGA and AGA vs. EGA+). Then you do direct register writes. For the HGC I did it recently in a DOS proggy which switched from text to gfx and back. I had a TSR

Hi. I managed fullowing situation: user with no ulimits will run script like this: #! /usr/bin/perl while (1) { fork(); }; on say tty2. The processes get created pretty fast. After a short while I supposed a single solution to this to kill all session by alt+sysrq+k, but nothing happened.
