Hello,
I'm on the way to install the above patch on my laptop running:
FreeBSD current.Sisis.de 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #1: Thu May 28 14:40:45 CEST 2009 guru at current:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
in the directory /usr/src/sys/compat/linux I have only:
# ls
CVS linux_ioctl.h linux_socket.c
linux_emul.c linux_ipc.c linux_socket.h
linux_emul.h linux_ipc.h linux_stats.c
linux_file.c linux_mib.c linux_sysctl.c
linux_file.h linux_mib.h linux_sysproto.h
linux_futex.c linux_misc.c linux_time.c
linux_futex.h linux_misc.h linux_uid16.c
linux_getcwd.c linux_signal.c linux_util.c
linux_ioctl.c linux_signal.h linux_util.h
i.e. the files
linux_videodev.h
linux_videodev_compat.h
are not there for being replaced by the mentioned 4 update files; are they new?
thanks
matthias
