I see.  Well I appologize for mistating any information on 
this list.  I did find that the 40037 drivers seem to be 
much more stable than the 40032 drivers.  However I was 
unable to get the CLE266 compiled mythtv, or VeXP  to run 
on them. Also, Video overlay seems to work alot better. 
 If anyone out there has an M6000 and the time to try it, 
I would be interested in seeing if the 40037 drivers 
improved cpu utilization for video overlay for them as 
well.
