Is there anything I can do to help? The cx issue should be fixed. Nate put in a patch to fix it yesterday or today. I have also lost acpi_video, but the patch to fix cx may fix that, as well. I've been hesitant to update my laptop due to the native preemption triggered problems that forced me to roll several bits of the kernel back to 7/2. If I get just a little time, I'll cvsup and build a new system tomorrow and see how t works (or doesn't). -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
