New Lappy Success!! to Dennis Kaarsemaker

[al bassano]

"The second hotkey from the left toggles the blue
led".

The Blue led doesn't come on now matter what I do in
Ubuntu... it still works fine in Window.  Pressing the
receiver hotkey only (sometimes) gives a faint blink
sometimes.

I cant seem to turn on the receiver  :-(...

Thanks,
