Hi Robert, You're running CVS, excellent. That has the latest fixes for opensync. The thing you need to be careful about with F7 is that the kernel has the berry_charge module on by default, and it also has CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND turned on. The berry_charge module conflicts with bcharge if both are run at the same time. If one works for you, just disable the other. Both basically serve the same purpose, and it's up to you. As for CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND, you will need to recompile your kernel with that disabled, for reliable charging performance. The reason is that the kernel suspends the USB devices and this gives undefined behaviour on the Blackberry. The most common result is that the charge icon will disappear, but I've also heard of devices draining power very quickly as well. Just an inconvenience really. Also, make sure you install ConsoleKit, to handle permissions on your pluggable devices. Otherwise, Fedora 7 and Barry work well together. Good luck, and let us know of any problems. - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
