Many of the "lsusb -vvv" reports shows the same problem with something like this "Report Descriptors: ** UNAVAILABLE **". I've the same problem last time. http://www.nabble.com/How-to-dump-HID-report-descriptor-under-Linux-td19609562.html Alan Stern suggests that we can manually unbind the HID interface and then the report descriptor can be properly dumped. Maybe the new usbutils can be updated to support this by detach and then re-attach the kernel driver. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
