It looks like I was off track regarding GPIO. In 2.6.30 the pcf8574 module that was used for digital I/O earlier was no longer available and something I read lead me to believe I should use gpio-sysfs instead. I'm sorry for the noise. - Gordon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
