(well > at least I thought that was only an american trait :) ) [the rest of this directed at Mr. Burbaickij, not Alfred...] Indeed. I've already gone out of my way to make suggestions despite the fact that your messages are near-incomprehensible and you (apparently) haven't tried any of the things anyone has asked you to try. Yes, the driver is buggy, but it works for a lot of people. I've helped plenty of people with similar problems to yours in the past, and in almost all cases the problem was one of misconfiguration rather than a driver bug. So sue me if I don't rush off and start rewriting the thing immediately. If everything works so well on Linux, how about you go use Linux and quit bothering us? -- =========================================================================== Scott Mitchell | PGP Key ID | "Eagles may soar, but weasels Cambridge, England | 0x54B171B9 | don't get sucked into jet engines" scott.mitchell@mail.com | 0xAA775B8B | -- Anon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
