Actually, I'd like to hear about why the kernel developers were shocked about our use of capabilities. Could you expand on that?

They provide ebuild that don't work until I compile my kernel to turn on certain things and edit my XF86config file to enable features. We'll see. I think we'll get there. A while back some of the kernel developers were a bit shocked we were using capabilities this way, but that's another story! ;-) - Mark >
