I was wondering if you found a patch about that. But your response is great. Thanks. I'll probally just backport 4.2.x to woody and integrate that i845 patch. Of course, I'll try and get it up to www.cs.umn.edu/~sdier/debian/updates/wup/ , where I've been keeping my 'update' repository of woody apt-get-able updates. -- Scott Dier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> KC0OBS http://www.ringworld.org/

No pressure, (I've told the locals who bought i845 chipset machines that they are SOL for a few months at best) but is there any new information on this? I'm willing to look into it later this year if nothing new has happened by then. (After school gets out, most likely.) Of course, I might just wait for 4.3 too.
