Cool :) Do I have to write a driver or something? Or will libs suffice? Or do I even need to worry about the user not being root? suid refers to the program? Like Ring 1/2/3 in PMode on Intel for example?

From: Peter Gerwinski peter@agnes.dida.physik.NO-SPAM-PLEASE.de Well ... you can use the `/dev/mem' device to directly access memory, ... but then the program needs to be "suid root" to be executed. (In fact this is how `svgalib' accesses video memory.)

Cool, that's the way I want it :)

That's what the LGPL stands for, *and* it allowes to link the library with non-free software. The ordinary GPL would stand for the same, too,

Noted :)

It's a good example how to use existing GCC libraries from GPC.

See ya! Orlando Llanes
