I never said they did. Stop reading in things I didn't say. I said they added something to the stock Fedora Kernel.

The support from this group is much better for answering simple questions. I never said I cared if the answer I got was useful or not. I just want to know if anyone else has seem this problem or not. Sheesh! (Obviously given the hostile attitudes here, noone else has seen it.) There, how difficult was that to say? -- Kevin J.
