I think that the patch should be applied. Neither Bruno nor I suggested that there's anything wrong with the patch - I haven't looked at it, and if I had I doubt I would know any more than I learned from having read Willy's description. It made sense. However, the reason Willy gave for actually wanting to _use_ S5 seemed flawed. derek (ps. I didn't even need to know that I _could_ echo to /dev/hda :-) Ack!!) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
