Tried it on my T60+X1400+fglrx with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED disabled, and 
another box with NVIDIA, and found no problems. To me those are a couple of 
the biggies.

Again just a minor thing with udev starting up, obviously 138 is working but 
not throwing that into /var/log/messages. Not big deal, but it would warm my 
fuzzies if a notification was given some where.
