[Alexandria-list] activating userland cuecat support version 0.6.0

[Kent Swanson]

First I would like to say thank you to all those that contribute to
Alexandria. You are the reason open source software works.


with version 0.6.0 how do you activate userland cuecat support. The
barcode is greyed out and when I scan all I get is
.BM5UBM5UbM5UBM5Ub(only half of the cuecat output). I have looked around
in the code and I don't see where cucat.rb is called. I have looked
around in the code with my perl tainted eyes, and I see what looks like
code for the 2.4 kernel driver, and I kind of understand the scanner
registry, but I don't understand how it gets started.


I am running gentoo, fully updated within the last week. 2.6 kernel, I
installed alexandria via portage. My cuecat is a keyboard wedge type. It
had been "declawed" so that it produced straight ascii, but that didn't
seem to work under X/gnome for some reason. I "undeclawed" it, and it
seems to produce the properly encrypted gibberish in a terminal, which
the above .BM5... is the beginning of.

Do I have to use the CVS version?
