Hi Dan et al, what you experience is the same to what I see in my older z60m. A solution would be great :) Anyway, you may find these http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2006-August/008948.html and http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2006-August/008959.html useful wrt to handling devd and custom scripts... AFAIK, you don't need sysctl values to be changed for devd events to be triggered, but I could be wrong. cheers, _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough" Richard Feynman I speak for myself, not my employer.
