This is supposed to be this way. The poke driver is only to be used
with the "poke" application that is obviously not yet included with
Haiku - it's also not meant to be part of a distribution; it should
only be installed when writing drivers, in case you need it for this,
that is.
I see. Improved security in order to make my life miserable. ;-) I guess there
will be no easy way to directly do hardware accesses anymore, and that any
application which requires this will need to install its own driver(s), correct?
