- According to upstream documentation libusb is faster. - Personally, I've had trouble communicating with newer devices using the kernel module. libusb worked with lss trouble. > - why isn't it the default behavior?

But, the user needs to disable the auto loading of the visor kernel module. That could conceivably cause headaches. -- Rodrigo Gallardo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
