My All In Wonder 128 PCI was also incorrectly detected and now Gatos fails with the message relocation error: xatitv: undefined symbol: __7IWindowPcT1PUlii And my USB printer does not work now -- I am thinking our USB problems may be related but the device is detected in KDE Control Center and by MTink. I would love to hear if you have success with either or both of these problems. Brian
