Hi,

Is it possible to access any hardware directly from user programs (e.g.
direct access to the VRAM from a self written library or direct access
to a midi card) ?

Direct VRAM access would make it possible to write svgalib for
rbsd from scratch. Then you could compile some games written for linux.

Because I have no knowledge how to write a device driver for the kernel
and it seems noone else but me needs MIDI support under rbsd I have to 
make it that way.

Anyway, how big is the kernel source tree and how kerneldevices are
written ?



Ciao, Peter
