I'm not giving up hope yet, as Creative (I think) has released a Linux driver for testers. My son said he installed it under Red*cough*cough*Hat and it worked fine. I would imagine that once it's officially released, we may be able to use it with emulation, or maybe someone with enough knowledge will be able to port it over. Possibly OSS will get support working too (It's in BETA at the moment, and does not work). -- Walter in·tel·lec·tu·al n. Someone who has been educated past his/her level of intelligence.
