Hmm... I'd need to get access to that laptop to double-check, it is a co-worker's, I just asked him to boot to Linux and noticed the poller wasn't running. I assumed that was hald doing its job properly, as he said he never ran hal-disable-polling, and checked no further. If I manage to get access to that laptop again, I will do a more throughout check. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
