Cool,
Sorry I don't have the sources for CTPPRO nor for FastVid.
I don't think that we need a device driver for fastvid . We can
do it in userland 8)
All you should need to gain access to priviliged instructions is:
if (open("/dev/io", O_RDONLY) < 0) {
printf("failed to open /dev/io \"); /* or something to that effect */
}
There are plenty of German hackers on the list . We just need one
of them to step in to translate fastvid...
Enjoy,
Amancio
