Alright already :-) . I was working from memory and you found some 
written comments. So, the #173 according to this doesn't support the 440 
:-) .

But then you quoted recently something which stated that the 5500 was 
supported by the #256 driver - and I proved last night that it isn't (or 
at least not with openSUSE 11.2 on my wife's computer) :-) .

You win some, you lose some....

(Once you hit the age of 20 or so your "little grey cells" start to go 
downhill quite rapidly :-) .)
