8507 | 1 lidbha - Direct Hardware Access library |
2 ======================================= | |
3 | |
4 This library was designed for providing direct hardware access under different | |
5 OS'es and architectures, so it's platform- and os-independent. | |
6 | |
8508 | 7 The main project on the top of libdha is Vidix. It provides userspace |
8 video drivers for Matrox, Ati, 3Dlabs, Trident (and it's still evolving). | |
3973 | 9 |
8508 | 10 For the full list of supported OS'es read the sources, anyway here's a 'reported |
11 as working' list (these platforms are used daily): | |
8507 | 12 Linux/x86 |
13 FreeBSD/x86 | |
14 NetBSD/x86 | |
15 Linux/PPC | |
3973 | 16 |
8507 | 17 There are different ways to access the hardware, normally only ROOT can do that. |
11704 | 18 With root privileges libdha will run fine, but there are some others ways |
8507 | 19 to use it as a normal user: |
11704 | 20 1, set the SUID bit on the binary (in this way it runs with root privileges) |
