Not yet. I'm currently working on support for the new machines, that includes the new iMac G5 with iSight, and the dual core G5s. They have a new chipset that needs a bit of work. Hopefully, I'll have a patch soon, probably tomorrow, with some basic support but no thermal control yet. I'll need testers with the new iMac as I don't have access to one though, I'll let you know. The thermal control will come soon after that. Ben. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
