Hello Greg, Thanks for getting back to me, > > /proc/bus/usb/ is only "deprecated" by your distro, odds are you still > mount usbfs somewhere else, right? It's mounted to /dev/bus/usb > And, if you just tweak fxload to use libusb, you should be fine, as it > always knows where the distro mounted usbfs, right? Nope, fxload knows nothing of mount points. It's taking a full path from $DEVICE which points at /proc/bus/usb. If the distro (ubuntu and fedora) have moved it; then some part of the kernel code also needs patching so $DEVICE no longer reports an incorrect usbfs path for it's devices when running things in udev. > What is wrong with that as a solution if it solves the problem? It solves fxload by working around the problem, udev is still throwing out information which is erroneous. Other developers, other programs are using $DEVICE when they can't really use it for usb devices. > $DEVICE is not deprecated, it just needs to point to the place where > usbfs is mounted, which again, seems to be distro specific these days. Your probably right, it's probably a case of getting a distro patch in. Yet I can't help wondering why $DEVNAME is right and $DEVICE is incorrect. I would have thought that once wrong, always wrong.
