Is that an up2date beta + or straight beta ?

Is there nothing at all as you plug it in ?

lshal -m
is useful for working out what hal knows about the device. Unfortunately 
that is as far as I have got with this stuff.

If you still have an f8 machine, how recently did this last just work ?
Could you show the differences between f8 and f9beta for lshal -m and 
/log/messages ?
