Even if it is the case, it shouldn't break your hardware. I don't know
exactly what the Win4lin patches are doing however.

Did Mandrake copy it elsewhere?

That's a question for Mandrake support, or perhaps any other Mandrake
user here can help you.

I think the problem is solved as it "seems" to work with the unpatched
kernel, we have the proof that the problem was the patched kernel.
However, if you have problems with the unpatched kernel too, then
recontact me.

Now for the Mandrake problem, I'm not the right person to help you. Just
do the reverse steps of what you did to automatically insert pwcx.
