3 patches? I only saw 2. Or do you mean the modifications of the 3 files? The patches look sane but you should change the global symbols to play nicer in the namespace. Care to respin them together with this change? > The biggest change we'll have to do in speakup is the way it accesses > the serial port, which is really dirty for now, but that's an internal > matter. Yeah, that shouldn't be that tough to do. It doesn't look like these changes handle scrolling of the console, do they? If so, don't you need to do more? I had some old patches around here that had devices that wanted to know cursor positioning, which I don't think this hook can handle :( thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
