Hi - do you have it running in windows or linux firmware at present? Do you know if the windows version will work standards uac 2 drivers. If you do go back to the windows version, could you test 2 things: 1) Does it work at all frequencies on a windows PC? 2) What does the dmesg show when you connect it to SBT running kernel #9 - even if it is not working, it would be useful to know what the error messages say. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93310 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
