>A lot of error 40 function not implemented. Makes me wonder if the setup >installed libusb properly. No, that's not the right way to interpret those errors. You'll recall that, in my previous message, I explained that it says "testing" just before it checks a device to determine if it's an eligible one. What happens next is what it needs to do in order to check out that device. If it goes right on to the next "testing" then it was able to reject it right away. Sometimes, however, it needs to do a bit more. >brltty.exe: USB: testing device: vendor=8086 product=1C2D >brltty.exe: libusb_open error 40: Function not implemented. This vendor/prouct ID pair shows that it's clearly not one of your devices, but brltty needed to try to open it before it could figure this out. The open error is that libusb doesn't include support for opening whatever kind of device it is. That could also be why brltty concluded that libusb wasn't giving it adequate information so it needed to try to open it to have a better look. >brltty.exe: USB: testing device: vendor=8086 product=1C26 >brltty.exe: libusb_open error 40: Function not implemented. Same with this one. >brltty.exe: USB: testing device: vendor=046A product=0023 >brltty.exe: USB: setup packet: Typ:80 Req:06 Val:0100 Idx:0000 Len:00FF >brltty.exe: USB: control input: 12 01 00 02 00 00 00 40 6A 04 23 00 00 01 00 >00 >00 01 >brltty.exe: USB: using actual device descriptor This one is a little different, but it does reveal that libusb is indeed not always providing enough information for some devices. The extra step in this one, after libusb was able to open whatever type of device this one is, is that brltty then reads the device descriptor. It only reads and uses "the actual device descriptor" if the USB interface it's using hasn't provided enough information. >brltty.exe: USB: testing device: vendor=046D product=0A45 >brltty.exe: USB: testing device: vendor=05E3 product=0608 >brltty.exe: USB: testing device: vendor=05E3 product=0608 In these cases, there was enough information so it just continued searching. So this is how to understand the device search. Now, when it gets to your device: >brltty.exe: USB: testing device: vendor=1FE4 product=0054 >brltty.exe: USB: setup packet: Typ:80 Req:06 Val:0300 Idx:0000 Len:00FF >brltty.exe: USB: control input: 04 03 09 04 >brltty.exe: USB: USB language: 409 ... Your device was detected up front, without needing to do anythign extra like reading in the actual device descriptor, so it continued on to attempt to prepare it for use. Now I'll have a look at that part. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
