Yep, they appear to work now. :) I have been using them for a couple days off and on, and although I have had the occasional lock up, I think it is not the ccd's fault anymore. (Before, it would lock up when I tried to log in in X, or panic after some amount of disk io on the console. How do you tell what happened if you arae running X anyways?! This is quite frustrating.) FWIW, I have been having a terrible time with SMP kernels recently. I have consistently had it lock up when doing a find in a large page, after Netscape has been running for a while. It seems, the only truly stable kernel I have is one that was built several days ago, UP, with Terry's patches. When will these be integrated, anyways? :) Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
