In general, yes. This is why the winmodem driver people (last I heard)
are trying to pull some of the modem functions out into userspace
programs. Sync and cancellation algorithms for a
Hello,
For my own edification I am writing a simple VGA driver for my PCI video card.
I have two questions that probably many could answer. I am using v2.4-test7.
1) request_region(VGA_IO_BASE, VGA_IO_SIZE, "vga") always fails.
How do I get the standard vga ports?
2) Why aren't

Around 2.4.0-test9-pre2 (or so, definitely in pre3) both my SCSI scanner

Hi
The real issue is that if you use MMX or FP state, the kernel _must_ save
and restore the original state other wise user programs will see corruption.
We all know this too well since redhat's 6.1 (I think) kernel had this
optimized MMX functions that _screwed_ up user programs. The fact is...
