Unfortunately it seem that there are bug reports on this and more unfortunately they have apparently been going on nearly a year now. It's not a Gentoo thing specifically as there are Ubuntu, Debian and other distros with reports in their forums. There was a possible by hand fix for it but I'll need to look at that over the weekend to see if it makes sense on this machine. Bummer. I hate banging my head up against a wall made of problems no one seems to be fixing. http://bugs.gentoo.org/247685 Cheers, Mark
