Yeah, I am looking forward to
1) having ex2fs hybernation files
2) an equivalent of the PS2 command under linux
3) the modem working (with possible specs of the MWAVE DSP...so we can
muck around with it)
4) ability to switch between external (70+ hz refresh rates) monitor
and internal LCD display (60 Hz refresh rates) ...perhaps this is more
of a neo-magic issue....*shrug*.
5) USB/IR functionality.....(perhaps not an IBM/RH issue either)
With 1 and 2, I can get rid of my FAT partition....woo hoo. Wonder how
long it will take them to get even some of these working....Some people
might not object to paying for these especially if it came with
guaranteed support...
