https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=210899 Summary: removal of CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS breaks applications Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: gregkh@novell.com ReportedBy: rschiele@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Greg, on Mon Oct 02 2006 you removed CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS from the kernel with the reason that it is insecure (Could you elaborate?) and that we have /dev/bus/usb. This does break some applications like VMware (which I would still consider a killer application on Linux for many users) because /dev/bus/usb does not provide a devices file and thus is not a complete replacement. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
