Agreed, although in some instances, this community-driven approach is somewhat hampered by the lack of open source code for those older devices (cg6 being about the only exception). I guess the drivers could be reverse engineered, but the actual source code would be a much better starting point! -- Rich Teer, SCNA, SCSA, OpenSolaris CAB member President, Rite Online Inc.
