Hi all,
after Googling around and not finding a solution to my problem I found this forum and happily saw it has a Linux Users Corner
After my old 7730 recently broke (keyboard stopped working, lots of sand and water over the years) I just got another one off eBay which looks and feels like new. I had always thought the USB interface of my old 7730 to be defective, but now with the new one showing the same behaviour when plugging it into the computer the problem must be with Linux (works on a friend's Windows PC with both devices, d'uh!).
What happens is, when I plug in either one of the 7730's and let /var/log/messages scroll by, is this:

(and so on, infinitely...)
Right now, I'm on Ubuntu 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22-12-generic) but can remember the same behaviour with the old 7730 on something like Breezy Badger, when I blamed it on the BlackBerry. I have Barry 0.9 running; btool -l comes back empty.
Any ideas?
