Naturally we'd like it to work fine on Linux, too, and Rafael's blacklist fix accomplishes that. There may be other solutions to this issue on Linux that are worth looking into, but perhaps we can accept Rafael's fix as a workaround for now. BTW, there is probably at least one more fairly recent vintage HP workstation that will require this same fix. My testing isn't complete yet, though.
