CV,

Yeah, it would be great if you could try the new ni stack (www.ros.org/ni) and let us know if it works. Also, use the 
ros-kinect@code.ros.org mailing list for Kinect related questions, and pcl-users@code.ros.org for PCL related questions, 
so that future users can use the browse/search mechanisms to find out already answered questions or solved problems. 
Thanks ;)

Cheers,
Radu.
