Yep. You're correct. However, that didn't exist when the patch was created. The patch comes from friend and dates back maybe 3 years. Yes, doing it with a quirk would be better, but at the time that wasn't an option. Since what I have works, I've never bothered changing. > yes. My previous post gave an alternative though (add a quirk). Sorry, perhaps I misread the post. I thought you were saying that the kernel must be left stock. Adding a quirk and re-compiling a kernel doesn't exactly do that. (Nor does my patch). Let me reiterate: what I have works, and has been working for 2 years or more. It is not pretty, nor is it the best way to go. It is acceptable as a "user beware" patch. Use it or not. // marc
