i couldnt unload the driver so i couldnt test: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/cpp/psuc/ls $ sudo rmmod usbhid ERROR: Module usbhid is in use by hidp [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/cpp/psuc/ls $ sudo rmmod hidp ERROR: Module hidp is in use [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/cpp/psuc/ls $ sudo rmmod -f hidp ERROR: Removing 'hidp': Resource temporarily unavailable > Maybe you can get away with using the kernel input layer API to > program the device? from the userspace? no idea how, but i will look into it. thanks alot. > What does the manufacturer say about support for the device? well, i am suposed to write a linux driver for it in exchange for the hardware, so i have direct contact to the hardware developer. but he still insists saying the device has 4 interfaces. .... and it works on windows. it looks like he didnt read the usb specs corectly to me, but i am a newbie to USB. so if you got some hints maybe what i could tell him, i would be glad. btw, your name sounds german, are you? i wrote the manufacor telling him his device must be bad designed and someone else confimed (it's going to be hard to convince him since it works on windows). we will see what he answers tomorow. thank's a lot, best regards, Arvid -- Arvid Picciani exys.org Open Source developer and activist Project manager - libqxt http://libqxt.sf.net Project manager - waterjet inovation group http://waterjet.elli-gym.de Musician - freedroid http://freedroid.org --------- DO NOT SEND ME POWERPOINT(tm) OR WORD DOCUMENTS! they will be directly sent to trash(c), as i'm not allowed by microsoft(tm) to read them anyway. _______________________________________________ libhid-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/libhid-discuss
