Oh yes you have to be root and all these files are generated on contact with the device and I don't think changing the permissions is really possible since you'd be putting kernel controls in user space _and_ with use permissions it would be dangerous to say the least. > This looks like a good feature to work on for version 0.10.

I think the best way to use this functionality is to add it to the code that is run via udev when a blackberry is plugged in and you should be involved in creating a kernel module for the blackberry since that would be the most stable way to integrate the functionality of the hardware. you then have the option to build further user tools but this does require a concept change which some device programmers are not interested in shifting to. So what I see as the natural progression of features is: 1) To overcome for now the mass storage error you should code it to unbind the mass storage module on contact. 2) Plan to kernalise a certain amount of code by first creating an idealised HAL interface, this will tell you what functionality needs to be put behind the wall so to speak. 3) use udev to create any of the /dev points if required or do some other tasks 4) use the real kernel hotplug manager to load the blackberry module when required Thoughts/feelings/hate mail?
