Linux on the Sony VAIO C1XD

 

iLink OLD stuff for those using older kernels - not needed with 2.4.7

I cut my first Cd with Xcdroast using the ieee1394 driver for kernel 2.4.2.

Install instructions are to be found at linux1394.sourceforge.net. Get the latest code from CVS. For the Vaio you must modify the following lines from ieee1394_core.c to get the QPS CD-R to work. I don't have any other devices so this may be device specific. Please test and report back to the community.

#ifndef MODULE

void __init ieee1394_init(void)
           {
           register_builtin_lowlevels();
           init_hpsb_highlevel();
           init_csr();
           /* init_ieee1394_guid();*/
           }

#else

int init_module(void)
           {
           init_hpsb_highlevel();
           init_csr();
           /* init_ieee1394_guid();*/

 return 0;
           }

void cleanup_module(void)
           {
           /* cleanup_ieee1394_guid();*/
           cleanup_csr();
           }

#endif
