I think the plan here is for ROM export to be implemented by the PCI driver not the video ones since other things besides video cards have ROMs. For example some SCSI cards have a ROM so they can be boot devices. Reading the ROM from sysfs will require root. But since all of the hotplug events run in root context this is not a problem. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
