DS> Nicolas, is the druid also freezing for you with your driver? <fussy allowbeating="true" ignoreme="true"> Sorry to bug you, but my name is spelt with no "s" at the end. Just Nicola, the Italian way! :) Thanks! </fussy> DS> Actually, all what it is doing is opening the device and closing it 5 DS> times in a row. If it freezes, it could indicate a bug in the driver. We should report that to Luca. DS> That's the purpose of the test actually because many drivers are not DS> stress-tested and the druid is stress-testing them :) Just checked, it freezes!
