Hi,
Am i on the right list for libpci?
Sure.
I installed libpci-dev on Debian and want to find where i can
find explanations of a lot of the constants in /usr/include/pci/header.h
for things like AGP and PCI-X and bridges.
They come from the various PCI specifications which are distributed for
a fee by the PCI SIG. I am aware of various copies floating around on
websites of dubious legality.
ok.
They have comments, but i want something a bit more tutorial-like such
as from a book, manual, data-sheet, standard, or code where it's used.
I want to experiment with graphics cards in user-space drivers outside of X.
X sets up PCI cards on its own. I could just copy and hack it, but was
wondering if there was a better way.
I've read all the current linux kernel and device-driver books.
Maybe you would do well with the Mindshare book?

I have a previous version of that book.
Thanks.
