I see. That I did not know. Is this kernel, or any of the others with this shift, actually in any distribution? Or have 'they' moved it or linked it? I ask because all the way through the current kernel in Fedora 15 (Rawhide) I do not see this. However the Xorg that is there does not work currently with Vbox 4.0.x Guest additions. You do know of the Forum? I have had better luck with technical questions such as this there than here. The Bugzilla which you mentioned, also works well. -- David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
