If you're using 2.2 it will be infinitely better. > First i would like to ask is any of this seems right? Perhaps. Are you using o/u/ehci, what chipset have you got, and what kernel are you using now? If you'll read the FAQ you'll find information which will help you tell. > is there a way to bring this better support to my computer now > without installing the whole kernel. Nope. You either install a whole kernel with the necessary modules, or nothing at all. It takes about half an hour on a reasonably quick machine, say a PII 400, if you don't need to install a bunch of other stuff like modutils and binutils. They can be a bit of a pain. You will need a compiler suite etc. and it helps if you've seen software built under Linux before. You might want to wait until 2.6.0 is actually released, it's at about 2.6.0-test3 right now. Think in terms of Christmas. You might also want to wait until one of the distributions comes out with it, hopefully in a not-too-bastardised form. 73, Ged. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
