This helps a lot to have such good bug reports. I'm surprised by your report, it does not make sense that it would behave this way. This means that I don't understand the driver as well I was believing. Or maybe your initialisation sequence is peculiar. I will defer to the driver maintainers. Thanks again... Jean
