That shouldn't be too hard. I can just plug it into my laptop -- it's got a Win98 partition.

However, on this page, in the FAQs, http://www.necmitsubishi.com/css/index.cfm they say that you don't need any special drivers to use this monitor. It just looks like a standard hub. So, either both Apple and Microsoft have worked around this bug in their USB statcks, or somehow Linux is getting confused. Either way, I'm hopeful that this can be fixed. Thanks, Dmitri! - Scott P.S. The first time around, I forgot to mention my Linux kernel version. This happens on unpatched 2.4.12, 2.4.13, and 2.4.14. I haven't tried 2.4.15 -- these "stable" kernels are making me a little gunshy. :) _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
