--- Comment #44 from Johannes Meixner 2008-12-04 01:50:52 MST ---
Ludwig,
very many thanks for the analysis and the solution!
I like to state here very clearly that it was and is
only Ludwig who always informed me and helped me
to get this HAL mess somehow working for the
current Suse Linux and openSUSE product.
Again the HAL mess changed in an incompatible way
so that the fdi files need to be changed too
in a non-backward compatible way.
For your information some snippets about the
history of this nonsense of changes in HAL:
Initially we had
<match key="linux.subsystem" string="usb">
see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=142859#c0
which was changed to
<match key="info.category" string="usbraw">
see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=142859#c10
which was changed to
<match key="info.bus" string="usb_device">
see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250659#c21
which was changed to
<match key="info.subsystem" string="usb_device">
for openSUSE 10.3 if I remember correctly
which must now according to comment #41 be changed to
<match key="info.subsystem" string="usb">
and accordingly
<match key="usb.vendor_id" int="0x1a2b">
<match key="usb.product_id" int="0x3c4d">
Does anybody of the readers of this bug report really expect
that this HAL mess can ever work stable and reliably?
At least for me it never did and I assume it will never ever
work stable and reliable in the near future.
The root cause of all this incredible HAL mess is
of course only the totally broken way how HAL is developed
(i.e. continuous incompatible changes all the time)
but nevertheless as all the time in the past I accept
this bug report and try again to work around the HAL mess.
