[beagleboard] Re: GPIO - how to ?

Can you explain handling that more in detail?
What exactly is the gpiolib? In my kernel source I found
arch/arm/plat-omap/gpio.c
arch/arm/plat-omap/gpio.c
arch/arm/plat-omap/gpio-switch.c
arch/arm/plat-omap/gpio-switch.o
but for some reasons I can't work with that - or don't know how.

In my Kernel config I did:
CONFIG_GENERIC_GPIO=y
CONFIG_OMAP_GPIO_SWITCH=y

But loading the kernel gives me neither a sys/class/gpio nor a /dev/gpio or something to work with from userspace.
