I posted an answer to your question in the newsgroup. 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?

Stefan
