That doesn't in principle sound SiS specific. Sure the implementation will be but the interface? > And rest assured, they will be 32/64 bit safe.

Ok this is exactly the point I was trying to make. Would it be possible to have the "new" ioctl interface be such that they CAN be used by both matrox and Sis ? --gj572EiMnwbLXET9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAr0y8xULwo51rQBIRAjCsAJ9H0R4+aGqv/tXIv09l9zaCLxXqPACfe/sY I1NkWFq93otwuXJVHIvG3zo= =54rU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gj572EiMnwbLXET9--
