| Subject: | AMIOPEN: sharing /device/pointer |
Hi All,
How can I share an already open device? I expected a call to 'open' to
return a handle to the already opened device, but I just get "Access
Denied" (-2) type errors.
I want to get direct (read only) access to the mouse/pen drivers, as
normally opened when AVE starts.
The only way I've managed to get it to work is if I open another copy of
the device driver, under a different mount point:
"devstart /device/mypointer /dev/pen/linux/x"
This works, and allows me to read the data I require, but there must be a
proper way to do it...?
