CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hello

I try to install a driver for a PC-scope from Hantek (6022BE). Not important actually what it is, but I know that USB Support is limited for Crossover.
So question is, If one like to try and install drivers for devices needing USB requests, what would be the best methode.

I guess one need a linux driver which crossover may communicate with... Hantek does provide all source code so porting the driver to linux may not be the biggest issue
It is the application that needs to run under crossover. There is also a USB driver available with an inf file, but the Hantek application never asks for it, so how may I proceed installing this driver?

If you (I'm not sure, but I think it may be better to run this as root - I always do, just in case) run the lsusb command with the USB device disconnected, connect it, then run lsusb again, does some new device appear to the list?

First, lsusb doesn't need root privileges at all on any system I have used.

As for the driver, I'm really not convinced it will ever be used, or that it will be able to be used by the system. If you haven't looked at this link, it might be useful for experimentation:

As for installing the driver, if it has an installer, use that. If it doesn't, you would have to copy it where the software would expect it to be, in the bottle for that software. I haven't used Windows in years, so I'm not too sure where. Some light googling told me that in win7 that would be Windows\System32\DriverStore. You'll have to do figure the specifics yourself, according with whatever your bottle pretends to be (winXP, win7, etc). There's a "open drive c:" entry in "bottles" menu to get directly to the proper folder.

It's a nice experiment, but don't get your hopes up.
