Hi Alan, this is indeed very puzzling! I have never seen it before - and all the stuff I used I have used countless times before.
I will try and reproduce it. As for the PostScript files: they look fine to me - there is nothing wrong with them. Also puzzling: why does a repeated invocation of test-drv-info via make examine different drivers? It must be recording some information. Regards, Arjen On 2010-05-06 16:22, Alan W.
