Great link, solves some problems with otherwise strange hardware I believe.
Thanks & bookmarked for future reference.
Much of this can be incorporated into the /etc/rc.d/rclocal file so it is
done automatically at startup. You'll probably have to sudo yourself to edit
that file. Alternatively, the startup file for emc could be modified I
assume but I haven't tried that personally.
