It's just that I didn't think it was necessary to have a settings file 
for it. In general, I'm not a friend of settings files for drivers, as 
I think it should always just work for everyone - if someone needs to 
change a setting file to make something work, I would even consider 
this a bug.
It might be helpful for you during debugging, of course, but I didn't 
have any problems back then in my limited hardware park :-)
I think it's okay for testing and figuring out problems some user might 
run into, but in the end, the driver should automatically turn off the 
troublesome features on that hardware by itself.

Bye,
   Axel.
