Well, good news and bad. Dropping the bad news first, I can't grep for hal or dbus anywhere in the devd src dir, which I think might mean it's not a direct user or propagator of hal. OTOH, devd's man page lists devctl, which seems mightily interesting, and could extremely likely be adapted into reporting to hal directly. My immediate worry is something I picked up from the devctl man page, that it is meant for a single reader. Does that mean that I am somehow prevented from sharing it to both devd (or devfs) AND hal, both? Or, do I manually (well, via script) create an extra devctl node? Or, maybe, am I knocking on the door of the wrong mailing list? Please let me know, my stubborn streak has seen me too close to the ending of this driver of mine to consider stopping now, I just MUST answer this last feature worry of mine. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIVm1jz62J6PPcoOkRArQbAJ9G+Ql78K7LWJ1vbKB7TWqAfRtBwgCgjQgw z+AP1pYbvAgmBrdqBXvMRbg= =7eon -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
