I also have additional information for you. I can email you the binary for VxD which does exactly what you need: given a physical address, returns a pointer that can be used by a Win32 application. I'll also give you source for a Win32 app which uses the VxD to read an area of physical memory. I don't offer this solution to everyone, since in most cases the proper solution is for them to write a VxD which interacts with their hardware, rather than simply getting a pointer to the hardware and interacting with it from an application. However, in your case, you're just using a VxD as a tool to get your Linux driver working...you shouldn't have to write a VxD for this :-) Let me know if you're interested. =============================================================================== Hello Karen A long time ago, you sent me your VXD for reading an area of physical memory under Win32, so I could make register dumps of the graphic chip. Did I ever mention, that it works perfectly for me? Why I contact you is, that I really would like to offer this solution to all XFree86 members, so that it will be much easier in the future for XFree86 to develop drivers for graphic boards. Can I count with your agreement? Would you like to add a special copyright to your software?
