How right you are these patches do not help at all it does look like Malcolm could well be right. Is there any good documentation where to start sniffing/reverse engineering (I'm not stupid but pretty vague at times;-) ) On Thu, 2006-10-19 at 17:04 -0400, Michael Krufky wrote: > > On Thu, 2006-10-19 at 16:13 -0400, Michael Krufky wrote: > >> The problem is not in the megasky m920x / gl861 driver itself -- rather, > >> the qt1010 code is not complete.
