Thanks Phil, I really appreciate the quick feedback! I've been banging
me head off this for almost two full days. I just couldn't figure out
why it's not working.
Do you have any suggestions on something I could try that you think
might work? I would imagine the other software based solutions out there
will most likely run into similar problems, but I'm a novice in this
arena so I'm not really sure.
I ran into some "make" issues with the proprietary driver, wondering if
it's worth venturing down that path until a fix for this comes out.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Nick
