Yes.  This is fixed in the CVS, but not in the kernel source.   Also,
the kernel source is very old and has no support for the QX3 lights.

What is really needed is for the kernel driver to be updated.

Do you mean a patch to cpia-control? (If so I couldnt find it).
I am using a 2.4.16 kernel and the cvs cpia driver (with a few updates
I added to make it work with 2.4.16 kernels, but cpia-control has become
disfunctional...  (it now hangs)

Does cpia-control need some fixing?
