[PATCH] fix for jabra gn9350e (hid)

2014-07-05 Thread Patrick Plattes
Ignore Jabra GN9350E HID interface. USB audio is working nicely, but registering as HID blocks USB mouse buttons. Since special userspace programs are needed we will avoid attaching usbhid drivers in general. Signed-off-by: Patrick Plattes --- drivers/hid/hid-core.c | 1 + drivers/hid/hid-ids.h

Memory leak with 2.6.12 and cdrecord

Hi Ho :-), we have some trouble with the 2.6v kernel tree and CDRecord 2.01 (Debian Sarge package). If we try to write an 150MB CD the memory fills up to 150MB. The memory will not deallocate after closing cdrecord. Next if we try to write an 200MB CD the memory will filled up to additional 50MB.

hello, i think security mailing list is a good idea. normally i would prefere a full open list, but in some cases this could be the right way. i have an additional idea. maybe it is useful to push the mails on the list into publc space automaticly after a delay of $NUMDAYS+$MAX - according to
