Subject: major number 115 changed ! Conflict ?

Hi,

I noticed that major 115 points on /dev/speaker.
Nevertheless, this number has been officially (?) allocated to me for tipar.o and tiglusb.o modules in March 2002. These modules are within the 2.4 & 2.6 kernels.

Is there anyone who can tell me whether it's correct ? May a conflict be possible with the speaker device if tipar/tiglusb are loaded ?

Thanks, Romain.

Character Major 115 is still allocated for your ti link cable
devices. To verify, just check http://www.lanana.org.

The devices.txt file hasn't been kept current in the bk trees,
but I'm in the process of preparing a patch to update it and I
hope it will be accepted.
