I have just get a new notebook, and it works fairly good with linux (just linux no time for windows here) everything works except for one problem which I have not been able to solve. My notebook is an Acer Extensa 367T and as I have said everything works. There is just one thing I'm a bit disappointed about. I haven't been able of finding an appropriate driver for my IDE controller, which means that I have to do with no DMA support, and that kind of slow...
Does anybody know of any good resources for writing a device driver. I have the following. 'Kernel Hackers Guide' 'The Linux Kernel' 'Linux Module Programmers Guide' lspci tells me it's a controller build by Acer Labs so I'll ask them for the appropriate data. (Hope they will give it to me...)
Anyway. If such a driver already exist please tell me. I have never played with the kernel before except for standard compiles.
