I thought maybe that KDE loads something during it's startup which
blocks what the sonypid stuff is trying to do. This happened with my
sound drivers (ALSA), when KDE started it tried loading a differnt
driver which blocked the sound card altogether. It was resolved by
un-installing a package (can't remember which one)

The three ?'s mean I am confused why it does work in Gnome. I realise it
all gets loaded at boot time, I am not too familiar with what KDE does
when it loads though.

As I mentioned, I am not too familiar with KDE and how it startup
scripts work. Could you give me some pointers of where to start with
this please.

Thanks very much for your help
