Anyone run into this and know why it happens?
Paul - I'm guessing that you're running stable, which has X4.1 in it. With my Cyberblade, I found that this problem occurred when running 4.1, but /not/ with 3.X, or when I moved to 4.2. It's an issue with the support for the Cyberblade/whatever - it Just Happens under 4.1. So the short answer is upgrade (somehow!) to X4.2. Well, it worked for me - YMMV. -- jc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
