Anyway, as I said before, don't use "values", just call things directly in the order you need to. This isn't like other operating systems, we don't need to be so "flexible", we can modify the core code as much as we want and need to if future things come along :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
