Can anybody elaborate on that. I would just like to "play around" with this and perhaps learn a thing or two about the kernel that may come in handy someday (soon?). Also, are there any good examples out there to learn from? I have looked at joy.c VERY briefly, but there certainly is a lack of comments in the code.
