[gobolinux-users] USB printer and CUPS

[Giambattista Bloisi]

Hi Hisham,
    I was using 2.6.22.7 kernel, the one shipped with 014. I upgraded to 
kernel 2.6.23.1 with unionfs, squashfs, and acpi patches.
My machine is a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A7600 and unfortunately has a very 
buggy ACPI BIOS.
BTW I was experiencing another ACPI related problems: Xorg dri module 
hanged my machine. Therefore I was unable to start X from the liveCD 
unless I specified "irqpoll" in the boot options or I filtered out dri 
module loading in xorg.conf.


Regards,
Giambattista
