I can't seem to get the required /dev/ttyUSB0 entry for my Huey
colorimeter.

I am sure I have the right udev entries, manually compared the device
id with `lsusb`.
The boring details are here:

I now believe that I have the problem referenced before on this
mailing list that the usb hid (human interface device) driver in Linux
grabs the Huey (which incorrectly claims to be a hid).  In older
kernel versions you solved that by adding the Huey to the blacklist in
usbhid/hid-quirks.c
//www.freelists.org/post/argyllcms/PATCH-usbhid-Blacklist-the-GretagMacbeth-Huey-display-colorimeter

However, that doesn't work anymore as of 2.6.28, HID_QUIRK_IGNORE is
gone.

So, questions:

1) anyone got in running in such a new kernel? How did you do it?

2) anyone with any kernel, can you tell me which usb modules you have
loaded? I have manually loaded the generic usb serial driver, to no
effect.

To clarify: I don't have the permissions problem that most people
have.  I don't even get any /dev entry at all.

Thank you
        Martin
