First off telling us that something works under XP is meaningless as there are drivers written for XP but not necessarily for linux. Not quite meaningless it does tell us that the device does not have a hardware fault. It's always worth pointing out that the device has been tested as best

possible on another system, or OS if built in. It's the same as "worked with 9.1 but not 9.2" at least those helping know it's a setup or driver problem. The poster did go on to offer recommendations so I'm not getting at him at all. Regards Roger

Hmmmm. Look at the that criticized sentence from another view: the stuff works on XP => the hardware is alright. :)

No, it does not. And, there is no need to quote two previous messages and the sig's. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

Because hardware _works_ ?? on windozXP does not mean that the hardware is *alright*.

Hmmmm. Just like me previously, Patrick, you were also not able to help to the guy asking:( And that's mainly, why I disagree your critics at me.

It is definitely your right to disagree. I argued your response, not the OP's question.

Excuse me, you missed to list in your reply another point: there is also no need to quote together text with plain e-mail addresses, as _you_ just did (, and used to do) Mr.

Yes, I have and do, as I have for over 25 years, but I did not miss it: from ~/.muttrc send-hook . 'set attribution="* %n <%a> [%(%m-%d-%y %H:%M)]:"'

Are you saying faulty hardware still works on windows but fails under Linux?
