Your new driver may support much, much more features, but we've seen an alarming numbers of complaints about basic functionality being broken now (with the new driver). Oh, and I'm not trying to flame your work. It's great that we have someone that takes care of this code, but I just can't help but think that this driver should have gone through a few more iterations of testing before entering the tree. -- Joel
