Hi,
attached the next version of halTest.
halTest does support a more complex test pattern .
>From my point of view the spin problem is not caused by hal as halTest
can trigger the problem without hal and any desktop at all.
Under gnome the cdrom gets automounted, the drive spins down.
I have not tested extesivly under kde since i am not sure if my kde env.
is correctly set up - kde has not automounted the drive.
Regards Jürgen
