We don't maintain the kernel, we use the stock kernel from tinycore. Come over to those forums and we can help out. You don't need to replace the whole kernel, just build a the needed module. But I'm using the same light sensor without a kernel driver. The card is i2c, and that support is in the kernel already. you just need a userspace driver for the chipset. I use a python library.....works great. I'm controlling the brightness of a LED clock display on the front of my box which is also i2C. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105018 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
