[TiLP-devel] Possible reason for DirectLink USB failure

[Mike M. <ak...@gm...>]

I can run tilp-2 like this:

tilp-2 --calc=ti89t --cable=DirectLink --port=1

but I get some errors:

I just located something mroe useful in dmesg:

usb 1-3.3: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usbfs while 'tilp-2' sets config #1

This appears to be a conflict with other USB devices on my system:

http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Scanner_Setup_from_SUSE_Linux_10.0#USB_access_conflicts_for_Epson_all-in-one_devices

Of course it isn't a scanner, but the error message is identical.
