Hi Zack,
I ran into the same problem a couple of days ago on a 7200. I've
had no luck in getting it to work and all the helpful advice I've received
hasn't helped either. Hopefully it can be duplicated by the people at
Mandrake and hopefully a fix will be able to be released. Patience is a
virtue with these type of problems because they are hard to find and
pinpoint. I'm content right now to wait, for a new build and try that out.
Keep your ears open because I'm sure it will be fixed sooner rather then later.
