Thanks chris, I will give that a try later today. I need to get some "real" work done today. This class has been consuming almost all of my time this week. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Brannon [mailto:chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 9:05 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.

You are passing a pointer-to-pointer-to-character (char **) as the first argument to copy_from_user, but you should be passing char * instead. So ditch the ampersand, and all will be right with the world! I could give you a thorough explanation of why this is failing, if you like, but to make a long story short, this line of code is smashing the stack! I'm always happy to help. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at linux-speakup.org http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
