In version 2.0.1, this would imply that either dev.o is not loaded or that
you have not started the state machine daemon.
First thing to verify is that dev.o is loaded by doing "lsmod" and look for
x10. If it isn't loaded then you need to make sure that you load it before
starting the daemon.
Second thing to look for is whether plusbd is running. If not, start up
plusbd.
The most common problem that I am having with the 2.0.1 (which I have not
solved) is that the daemon fails to communicate with the device and doesn't
produce much in the way of symptoms to know why. If either the daemon wont
start (plusbd) or the module (dev.o) won't load, then we need to figure out
why they won't load. The USB drivers for 2.0.1 will only work if your
kernel is patched to make the HID core work properly. This is supposed to
be fixed in the 2.6.4 distribution but I have not had time to verify that.
The patches for 2.6.3 are in the distribution.
The second most common problem that I have seen is when the drivers are run
on a non-Intel or non-AMD machine. I believe this problem is with the
options that I use to compile the drivers but I cannot figure out how to
extract the kernel compile options from the 2.6 makefiles.
If you have patched the kernel but the drivers won't load, turn on debug for
both and look in the /var/log/messages file to see if there is any useful
information to tell you why it is not loading. You can send the relevant
output to me and I will see if I can figure it if you cannot get it to work.

Subject: [wish-info] /dev/x10/* bad address
Hello all,
I have installed version 2.0.1 onto my system. I am
trying to get the usb device 1132U to work, but upon
trying to write to the device (i.e echo 1 >
/dev/x10/l1) I get "bash: /dev/x10/l1: Bad address".
It does this with all of the nodes in /dev/x10/*.
Doing an "ll -ai /dev/x10/l1" produces "112762
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 120, 176 Mar 25 18:36
/dev/x10/l1". Is this the correct output?
Any help is appreciated. thanks.
