Yes, I got a patch for it from Josef.Weidendorf (?). I guess at that time it
only worked on SGI.
Speaking on behalve of KDE, we like FAM very much and would like to see it
supported on Linux. At the moment we use it in KDirWatch when
available. KDirWatch notifies applications when a change occurs in a directory.
With FAM widely available we will probably add a KFileWatch as well.
If you need any help with the linux kernel support part I can try to see if
there are any kernel hackers around at SuSE who want to help you out.
Cheers,
Waldo
