Graeme, Scott, thanks for your help. I think things actually work for me. I get measurements doing: ./dispcal -y l foo Even though I can't find the /dev entries but that doesn't seem to matter. I leave my answers below for completeness since I'm sure somebody will come to the archives with the same questions.

Hmm, what exactly is the "Argyll driver"? Is that a kernel module? I thought you talk in bytes over a generic driver to the USB device without your own kernel module? > What does spotread -D5 output ? It's too long for mailing list mail, so I copied it to: http://www.cons.org/tmp/spotread-huey.txt Thanks for your help so far. I'll now rebuild Argyll, currently I'm using the binaries that don't have dispalGUI. But it looks like I don't have a driver problem here.
