I can't remember the exact symbol, but there is a symbol that you can define for ft.c that traces the whole thing. I think it's FT_TRACE. Look at ft.c for something similar, and then put in your config file: options FT_TRACE assuming FT_TRACE is right. Then you'll get a whole slew of kernel messages relating to the probing of the ft. That should be more helpful. -John -------------------- John Duncan, Sophomore, University of Pittsburgh. "Unix and C are the ultimate computer viruses" -Richard P.
