Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, I'm interested in getting RedHat's XBF server running on my FreeBSD -STABLE laptop. I can probably do the development work needed to do this, (I actually had the server up but not able to receieve keystrokes at one point, but I don't have the source from it any more, besides it only took one night ;-) What I'd like to know is, if I emulate the needed ioctl's and iopl on -STABLE could someone help me port this forward to -CURRENT, because I don't have a -CURRENT machine and I'd like for the changes to make 2.2.8 if possible, so I know they need to be tested in -CURRENT. Any help or advice is apprecated, if there's interest if/when I get back to the point where I can bring the server up w/o keyboard support, I can post patches/diffs for review and help. Hardware info: I have a Libretto 100CT, with 64MB Ram and 2gb of disk. It has a 3COM 589D, and a Practical Perphial's 56k modem in it's slots most of the time. Thanks, -Ira BTW: If your going to help, I recommend you have some other way to get on the laptop other than console so, when you hose the console you can shut down the machine cleanly. It makes the process MUCH faster. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
