I found a binary-only package with Linux drivers on the Samsung website. With such binary files, you can't do very much. Though your problem might indeed be a minor one: most bugfix methods for Linux assume that you can modify one or the other source file. But if you tell a bit more about the problem, somebody on this list might have a suggestion. (But keep in mind that most people reading the mailing list do not feel responsible for "other" software packages, especially those for which no source code is available...) Abel
