Thanks. It was more work then I expected. If I knew how much work it was before I started I probably would not have done it. As for the kernel, due to using applications supplied on the distro I tend to like to stay with the kernel version supplied. I don't have the time to modify the applications if need be. As for the voltages, yes I'm aware of the conf file, but my question has always been, how do I know which is what? I'd be guessing at best. When Jan gets the schematic he can tell me which input is what voltage but right now I don't have a clue. -Curt On Wed, 21 Mar 2007, David Hubbard wrote: > Hi Curt, > > On 3/20/07, Curt Blank <Curt.Blank at curtronics.com> wrote: > > Ok, I answered my own question, yes I can backport the w83627ehf driver > > from 2.6.21 to 2.6.16. > > > > If anyone is interested I put the patches here: > > > > http://www.curtronics.com/patches/ > > > > Not bad for one nights work. > > > > Below is the living proof.
