I'm thinking I issued the mount command for usbdevfs wrong. /proc/bus/usb shows r-xr-xr-x. There are no write permissions for even root on /proc/bus/usb/devices or /proc/bus/usb/drivers. However, root can activate the usb device when brltty starts yet my normal user can't. If I plug in the usb device as my normal user, I get the messages relating to connection with vendor/serial number information etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Csercsics" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 4:57 PM Subject: Re: My usb device works for a while then quits. > You wrote: > >I have an alva connected bia usb to my computer but after a few minutes of > >activity, it quits.
