Yeah, I suspected as much. This damned computer has given me quite a bit of trouble in the details. Yup. > unfortunately.

It was very cheap (I guess I get what a paid for). Any attempt to get USB or 3D working has failed.

What I really want to see is Xv support. Any idea when/if that will happen for the 2D portion of the driver? > Bad news.. ;o( Well, at least there's a test for it in the kernel. Using USB just hard-locks the system. But that's for a whole different list. ;) Thanks for the info. Is there any way to tell if this LE chipset happens to have magically fixed the off-by-1 problem? -- Kees Cook @outflux.net _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
