Thanks -- I can live without the opensync/gui for now, but it looks like 
it still may not be setting the right charge when plugging it in:

The backup GUI should work in Fedora 9.  Just not opensync without getting
opensync 0.22 packages.

In your previous email, you mentioned that you used "make install".
I'm assuming that you haven't updated your udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d.

Try running bcharge from the command line, and see if MaxPower changes.
If it does, then you just need udev configured correctly for your system.

For Fedora systems, do the following from the source tree:

	cp udev/10-blackberry.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
	cp udev/10-blackberry.perms /etc/security/console.perms.d/
	cp modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge /etc/modprobe.d/

Re: [patch included] Re: barry working under fc9?

I dont know if its something I did wrong when building, or if its some 
variable that maybe should be passed on to the files under ./udev (i 
just took the defaults of /usr/local/), but as an FYI I had to change:

RUN="/usr/sbin/bcharge -p %p

To point to:
"/usr/local/sbin"

Now the charging is working perfectly.  I decided to compile the gui as 
well while I was at it, and that also appears to work.

Thanks again for your help and work -- its great to have support for this.
