It is too much to read to an supporter by phone, and somebody who can diag that self knows exactly where the root is searched in his config. After all it can only be a hardware or driver problem.

(And I am quite sure scrollback works in this case) Gruss Bernd -- (OO) -- Bernd_Eckenfels@M?rscher_Strasse_8.76185Karlsruhe.de -- ( .. ) ecki@{inka.de,linux.de,debian.org} http://www.eckes.org/ o--o 1024D/E383CD7E eckes@IRCNet v:+497211603874 f:+49721151516129 (O____O) When cryptography is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
