Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] udev and usb scanners

[John V. <joh...@sy...>]

I did some research and found that we need to update libusb. This changes w=
here
usb devices are searched from /proc/bus/usb to /dev. I have updated from ve=
rsion
0.1.8 to 0.1.12 and put in update/johnvan along with the other packages tha=
t=20
vector built. With this, I can now find my scanner in root mode and in user=
 mode
if I set permissions on /dev/usbdev#.# to 666 (where # are digits).
