I've got part of it written, but I haven't had any time the last month or so due to my real job. I will probably have more time to finish up the new ADB subsystem later this month. I definitely agree on getting rid of most of the reasons for /dev/adb, but I'm not sure what all people use through it. I know the trackpad tool uses it, but I'm not sure of anything else. Does the sleep stuff use /dev/adb or /dev/pmu? Brad Boyer flar@allandria.com ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
