This is actually a bad thing. If you specify the wrong parameter and it still works, then that can lead to all sort of misleading behavior. For example, imagine the next person who submits scan results based on using such a driver. It works for him because his driver lied, but the resulting file works for nobody else. If you specify an explicit value incorrectly (not auto) and it still works, that is a driver bug which should be fixed. Devin -- Devin J.
