> other problem: emptool segfaults way too often....

If you have any problems with emptool, I can only fix them if you tell me about them :)
Mail [email protected] with a description and log. It's helpful if you run with --debug 2.

Currently I'm reworking most of emptool. I didn't like the way wildcards are handled and the whole thing's got a bit messy. Things you can look forward to are numerics for all results and possibly some source code. The redesign means it should be relatively easy to convert it to an X application should you so wish. You'll have to wait at least until the rest of empeg gets back from Comdex.

As for USB... unfortunately the chipset on my office computer is an SiS 7001 USB, which in itself has a few problems with some hardware, but it's also OHCI based and Linux usb-ohci (or ohci-hcd) is pretty buggy. I'll get it working some day when I have some spare time at home (my home computer is UHCI).
