Fujitsu Lifebook Application Panel Driver 

Compile
=======

To compile the Application Panel driver you need the following installed:

	o Linux 2.4.x/2.6.x sources
	o i2c enabled in the kernel or compiled as module
	o gcc
	o (probably lm_sensors, for additional i2c adapters)

Linux 2.4.x
-----------

The Makefile assumes you kernel sources are in /usr/src/linux, you may need
to adopt this to reflect your local installation.

To compile the kernel module, give the command (in the linux/ subdirectory)

	$ make

To change the location of your kernel sources, you can pass the parameter
LINUX to make. If you have compiled i2c as a seperate module, you need to
define the location of the I2C headers:

	$ make LINUX=/usr/src/linux-2.4.24 I2C=/usr/include

Linux 2.6.x
-----------

To compile the kernel module, give the command (in the linux/ subdirectory)

	$ mv -f Makefile-2.6 Makefile
	$ make KERNEL_SOURCE=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build


Install
=======

You need to copy the resulting module ``apanel.o'' (``apanel.ko'') in your 
modules, directory, typically /lib/modules/2.4.x/misc (or .../2.6.x/...)

Furthermore, you have to create a device inode: 

udev
----

Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-apanel.rules like this

	KERNEL="apanel", NAME="misc/%k", SYMLINK="fujitsu/%k"

devfs
-----

Create e file /etc/devfs.d/apanel like this

	REGISTER        ^misc/apanel$   CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ${mntpnt}/$devname fujitsu/apanel
	UNREGISTER      ^misc/apanel$   CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink fujitsu/apanel
	

neither udev nor devfs
----------------------

You have to create the device entry as root:

	mkdir /dev/fujitsu
	mknod /dev/fujitsu/apanel c 10 216
