True enough. But if you want to switch, I'd recommend mm-sources. I've been using it on my laptop (IBM TP R31) for a few months now and I don't have many problems with it. The odd time I get a kernel oops after its been left idling for awhile, it always happens when I come back to it after awhile, so I never have any clue what happened. Who knows, it could be a hardware issue and you might not see it. In any case, make sure you create /sys for the sysfs filesystem. I didn't at first and couldn't out why I had errors during startup. (Maybe the newer .ebuilds take care of this for you--not sure). Have alot of fun... -Mike -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
