Amancio Hasty: |Sorry about that . Originally the Bt848 driver was very easy to configure and |it didn't need any other external drivers . There outght to be a way for |a driver to query for dependent drivers and load them if necessary to |avoid the current driver dependency configuration and if it doesnt find the |dependent driver whenever possible fall back to a default behavior. Agreed. I've been thinking the same thing. Why force users that don't know (and don't want to know) the code to get intimate with implementation-specific details? Some will post to this list and maybe get a reply. Others will just give up and move on.
