Thanks for the info!

A follow-up question: is G41 support in every kernel after
2.6.27-stable? In particular, is it in 2.6.31.5-127?

Cheers,
hxu

G41 support was also added in 2.6.27-stable, and (from quick inspection)
does appear to be included in the final Fedora 9 kernel, which is
kernel-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.  So if you don't mind using a kernel
that's a year out of date on a distro that's 18 months past End Of Life,
you could try that.
