John,

Which distro are you using?

If you plug in your XDA, what does 'lsusb' output?

Here's mine:

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0bb4:0a05 High Tech Computer Corp.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^This is how the XDAIIs appears on my system.


Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0451:1446 Texas Instruments, Inc. TUSB2040/2070
Hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1019:0c55
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 05ac:020c Apple Computer, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 045e:0095 Microsoft Corp.
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 056a:0010 Wacom Co., Ltd Graphire
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 05ac:1003 Apple Computer, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 03f0:0212 Hewlett-Packard
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04e1:0201 Iiyama North America, Inc. Monitor Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

and 'tail /var/log/messages' gives:

Feb 13 11:13:37 [kernel] usb 3-2.3: new full speed USB device using \
ohci_hcd and address 5
