-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi!
We are currently developing a Linux kernel patch which restricts access to /dev/mem based on some kind of access control list. Since our main target is the X server we wonder how to get the information which memory areas are needed by the gfx card resp. its driver. Our planned startup sequence is currently: 1) X Server probing 2) setting of acl 3) X Server start In step 2 we need all information about used memory areas. This has to be independent of the gfx card driver of course. Any idea how to get this information? We thought of looking at /proc/iomem or at the Xfree log file but it does not have a good parsable structure. Is it possible to define some kind of XML output which makes such an output parsable? We do not want to have an additional mini-parser for each type of gfx card driver. - -- Heiko Nardmann (Dipl.-Ing.), [EMAIL PROTECTED], Software Development secunet Security Networks AG - Sicherheit in Netzwerken (www.secunet.de), Weidenauer Str. 223-225, D-57076 Siegen Tel. : +49 271 48950-13, Fax : +49 271 48950-50 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAj2/kCAACgkQpm53PRScYyiivwCgvszS3rHhjY5+Tdcn+D8jMedj VdAAoIvBBm6spyj7GgHxihGT+pg4abkj =a7Rc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
