I have SyncMaster 765MB which can be controlled under MS Windows by Samsung's MouScreen utility. I was hoping that 'usbmonctl' should work for it too, but I could not test it because compilation throw out a bunch of errors. Maybe I'm missing some development libraries or am using too fresh kernel. If you are interested, I can send the output of the 'make' to you, just give me some contact to send it. I'm not sure that this list would be appropriate for this transaction. Tell me I'm wrong and I will send the data into this list. I'm running Debian Lenny on 2.6.34 kernel. Best regards!
