firewire / ieee 1394

Realised I had a firewire connector, so, out come the external hard disk that I usually have connected to the mac.

Mounted on desktop, managed to read and write - very quickly - with no problems. No drivers, changes, digging out vi, Just Works. Faith partially restored.

Now, how to eject using GUI...? It seems I may need to add a custom panel item with 'eject /sda' or similar. Or just pull it out...

Did you manage to get your tablet's buttons working ? If so , I'd be interested to know how ( I run debian/squeeze on my stylistics ).
