I'm building e17 from source, but AIUI this has also been a problem for SHR and others. Maybe it's been fixed there, you're right that I'm talking a little off the cuff here having not looked at the problem seriously for a while. It's on my list of things to check out. I'm a DM working toward DD so I'm definitely interested in helping get the Debian setup working smoothly. -- -John Sullivan -http://wjsullivan.net -GPG Key: AE8600B6 _______________________________________________ Smartphones-userland mailing list Smartphones-userland@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/smartphones-userland
