Hi Ivos, I totally share your excitement and of course I agree with you. The hardware should be as functional as possible, however it will always have a small number of bugs which has to be fixed. Nothing is bug-free, neither in the Windows' world. And that's the reason to make new drivers and solve old problems. The only confusing thing on this all is, that this bug has been really let forgotten and nobody cares about it (that's my view). The only thing we can do is to remind it to the original developers.
