I am subscribed to the list (although I don't mind CC's).  Since I hope 
to upgrade from woody to sarge and also try out a 2.6 kernel, I was 
hoping to see the answer to this problem just in case I also run into 
it.  I like to use KDE and am looking forward to the upgraded KDE in 
sarge.  I also hope to get my sound system working so that I can use 
ogle.  I anticipate that the new KDE might be much more helpful.

Anyway, I must have missed the response and would like to have it, too!
