The background of my question is the following:
I developed a new device driver for GEOS and wanted to start testing it by
use of SWAT.
When I started SWAT I saw
- all the "looking for .... " messages for all kind of device
drivers (and other things)
- and at the end message "Reusing patient pcmcia
I was wondering whether my new device driver shouldn't also somehow show
up. On the other hand I did not do anything which might tell GEOS (SDK or
SWAT) that I have a new device driver (except for setting the driver
parameter in the .gp file). I'm still in doubt whether I need to do more
to make my device driver known to GEOS.
