Hi all,

I would like to comment on the topic quoted on https://zockertown.de/s9y/archives/882-asusoled-compilieren.html  that states something like this:


"I wrote a patch to correct this issue: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/23/530 (get & try the patch) However, it would be nice if it has "someone" supporters! I've already wrote one for 2.6.22-gitX cycle... but it do not get any feedback! please go to: http://lkml.org/lkml/bounce/2007/7/23/530 send it to your email address, write a feedback and use "answer all!". That's it!"


Well I installed this patch, recompiled my kernel and tried again asusoled application in order to test the oled display.
First time everything seemed as usual as it was with a standard (no patched) kernel, asusolded ask me to rmmod  usbhid as it was not able to get control on the oled.
Then I removed the usbhid and tried again, it worked. Nothing new.
After this I loaded usbhid in order to use my mouse.
then I tried asusoled  and  fortunately this time it worked  this time with usbhid loaded.

To sum up the patch works fine once I remove and load usbhid once. I tend to think this could be a bootstrap bug as it does work well after a manual reload of usbhid.

I'll continue testing in order to see if it was just a spontaneous  problem.


My system:

Asus G1S
4GB
Open SuSE 10.3 X86_64
Kernel: 2.6.22.9-90 (Suse Build Service) patched with/to solve:
                                      4GB + BIOS + Nvidia problem
                                      oled recognized as usbhid device


PS.
I don't know  German so it was difficult to understand the page in https://zockertown.de/s9y/archives/882-asusoled-compilieren.html so I would suggest to update https://launchpad.net/asusoled/ maybe I could help.

Regards,
Javier Bolaños Molina.

Some of ASUS' notebooks (e.g G Series) include a tiny oled display, which is
attached to an internal USB bus. Unfortunatly the device reports a wrong
DeviceDescriptor and is therefore identified as a HID device...
