I personally like drivers/macintosh, from my point of view, it makes things clearer. except for macserial, which should be killed in favor of a more generic zilog driver, most of those drivers are really mac-centric stuffs with no "generic" userland interface. Also, drivers/char is already enough of a mess like this. I didn't look at the those new patches, but the adb code in driver/macintosh was abstracted to use a generic "adb controller" sub-driver interface some time ago and so adb.c should be platform independant (useable as-is on PPC and 68k). mac_keyb.c too, with all it's specific mouse support. David, did you make a generic (m68k/ppc) cuda driver too ? -- Perso. e-mail: Work e-mail: BenH. Web : [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
