Well, I'm on SuSE 10 and they sent out a kernel update recently, so
I'm wondering if that might have caused problems -- I've certainly had
to reinstall certain binary thingies before after a kernel update
(mainly video drivers), so I figured it was worth a try before I
assume it's a hardware problem.  :)  Then again, that was a few days
ago, so I guess a hardware issue is more likely.

Still, I also wanted to try re-saving my official fingerprint to see
if that made a difference, and I seem to remember using NonGUI_Sample
to do it, but I don't see a binary or build script there and just
running "gcc main.c" gets a bunch of errors...  So I was looking for
the documentation.

Thanks,
