Bruno, a question out of subject? Are you still working on a Nvidia
driver? If so how is it moving along?

Subject: [openbeos] driver interface question


for some time now i have been wondering why the declaration of the
driver 
interface posix calls (open, close, ioctl, ...) are split over 3 header 
files? (i don't know by heart which 3, and i don't have a BeOS system
nearby 
at this moment)

wouldn't it make much more sense to have all those calls combined in 1 
header file?
not to mention the fact that the BeBook does not contain information on
how 
to actually call and use device drivers.

i learned it by going through the examples a year ago, but still...

of course i don't know very much about posix, so my question could be a 
little silly, but does anyone know the 'why' of this?

kind regards,
    Bruno.
