[BRLTTY] LFS & BRLTTY SVN setup problem

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi

Well it don't look good!

root at orchid:/dev/bus/usb# ls -1

root at orchid:/dev/bus/usb#
root at orchid:/dev/bus/usb# lsusb
Bus 4 Device 1: ID 0000:0000
Bus 1 Device 1: ID 0000:0000
Bus 3 Device 2: ID 0403:fe72 Future Technology Devices International,
Ltd
Bus 3 Device 1: ID 0000:0000
Bus 2 Device 1: ID 0000:0000
root at orchid:/dev/bus/usb#

The Brailliant is the only USB device connected and the /proc/bus/usb/ directory is empty.

These devices are supposed to be dynamically generated by udev on the system so I'm guessing that is where the problem lies.  I can use storage devices on the system without any problem and when the system is booted into debian using the same kernel configuration the device works fine.

Thanks

Yes, you're correct, and, by the way, that problem is fixed in the latest
revision.

Looks good.

Yes, indeed, there's something wrong with USB on your system. Can you please
give us an idea of what's under both /proc/bus/usb/ and /dev/bus/usb/ on your
system? 

Do you get any logs when you connect and/or disconnect your braille display?

What's the output of lsusb?
