Hi Ondrez
Hi All,
I have connected Metrologic USB Scanner, but Fedora is not able to attach a driver to it. Is there a generic USB scanner driver which I can associate with it to make it work? This scanner is HID compliant device. Can't I make usbhid driver to make the scanner work? The sources from Metrologic said that it should work in USB Keyboard emulation mode. How to enable this?

You forgot to say that this is a *barcode* scanner. It should work fine in USB keyboard mode. If it's configured in some other mode, use the "MetroSelect Configuration Guide" to change the mode (by scanning some special barcodes).

Yeah, I forgot to mention that it's a barcode scanner. I reconfigured the device mode as USB HID keyboard as given in the Metrologic manual. Now the driver associated with it shows as "usbhid". But still when i scan any barcode i am not able to see any output on the console. Is there any redirection required? -- Manavendra Nath Manav
