16 I posted an answer to your question in the newsgroup. I also have
|
|
17 additional information for you.
|
|
18
|
|
19 I can email you the binary for VxD which does exactly what you need:
|
|
20 given a physical address, returns a pointer that can be used by a
|
|
21 Win32 application. I'll also give you source for a Win32 app which
|
|
22 uses the VxD to read an area of physical memory.
|
|
23
|
|
24 I don't offer this solution to everyone, since in most cases the
|
|
25 proper solution is for them to write a VxD which interacts with their
|
|
26 hardware, rather than simply getting a pointer to the hardware and
|
|
27 interacting with it from an application.
|
|
28
|
|
29 However, in your case, you're just using a VxD as a tool to get your
|
|
30 Linux driver working...you shouldn't have to write a VxD for this :-)
|
|
31
|
|
32 Let me know if you're interested.

34 Hello Karen
|
|
35
|
|
36 A long time ago, you sent me your VXD for reading an area of physical
|
|
37 memory under Win32, so I could make register dumps of the graphic
|
|
38 chip. Did I ever mention, that it works perfectly for me?
|
|
39
|
|
40 Why I contact you is, that I really would like to offer this solution
|
|
41 to all XFree86 members, so that it will be much easier in the future
|
|
42 for XFree86 to develop drivers for graphic boards.
|
|
43
|
|
44 Can I count with your agreement? Would you like to add a special
|
|
45 copyright to your software?
|
|
