okay, i did that and i found the following, when i tried to use it as
root or user, it said something about "failed to open device
'artec_eplus48u:libusb:001:007': invalid argument.
now i found the configuration file you mentioned, and briefly looked at
it, i don't understand what you were saying about permissions, i'm going
to attempt looking at the conf file again though and see if i need to
put some lines in there.
