There are no write permissions for even root on /proc/bus/usb/devices or /proc/bus/usb/drivers. However, root can activate the usb device when brltty starts yet my normal user can't. If I plug in the usb device as my normal user, I get the messages relating to connection with vendor/serial number information etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Csercsics" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
