RE: writing to the screen

[Nat Ersoz <nat.ersoz@myrio.com>]

I would recommend the O'Reilly book "Linux Device Drivers" which actually
has a specific chapter dedicated to an example device driver which "writes
to the screen".  

Well, I still recommend the book, however, in the latest version that
section has been removed.  You can problaby still download the source code
at 

ftp://ftp.oreilly.com/pub/examples/linux/drivers/examples.tar.gz

The example you should take a look at is called "silly.c".  I think its
called that because there are better ways of "writing to the screen" that
the simple minded approach offered.  In fact, what you may really be wanting
to do is write using the X interface.   But that's not pertinent to this
list.  O'Reilly also publishes a good book called "Xlib Programming Manual".
