[movitz-devel] Driver problems

[Joel Smith]

Hi everyone,

I'm having some real problems writing a graphics driver for movitz. I need 
full 32bit data width for both reading and writing to the graphics 
ioports. Is there any sort of support for unboxed 32bit fixnums?

My current kludge for this problem is to create a structure with two 
values to represent each half of the 32bits. This works nicely for writing 
to the ioports, but I can't figure out how to store the data read back 
from the ioports back into the structure's slots. How do you store data into a 
structure from within 'with-inline-assembly'?

Well I think thats all my problems for now ;) I just wanted to say a big 
THANKS to Frode for working on movitz!!! This stuff is really cool.

By the way, is anyone interested in using movitz to write a proper 
LispOS? Is movitz going to stay purely a dev platform or is it going to 
turn into a full LispOS project?

Happy Hacking,

Joel.
