------- Additional Comments From jmdavisProg@gmail.com 2006-09-05 00:46 ------- Just so you know, I had a look at what the SUSE folks are doing about HAL and it seems that they are aware of the issues that they having with it - including the fact that it causes problems for wine. They've been doing some changes to how HAL works in SUSE and it appears that they haven't got them all sorted out yet. Either way, as far as SUSE users are concerned this problem will likely be resolved soon.
Thanks for the info on HAL. I'd never even heard of it. You learn something new every day.
