Comment 29 for bug 1020338

Hi Donny, Ryan,

It is sad that things are like this, but Ryan has explained it very well. Ever since I reported this issue back in July 2012, I could not find any other solution, despite the very kind help of Ryan and others, than not use the device in Linux, my favorite OS. I do have a partition with Windows XP, but honestly I don't even like to boot in that piece of ...OS, so my frustration is big because the Reloop device was not cheap, but is not in use. I sort of kept my hopes that after more than one year perhaps "someone" would have written the driver as Ryan explained. But now I see where we are.
I don't code drivers, but don't want to just now put the damn thing in the garbage, I will have to either wait, or try to discover someone who would be able to do a decent job. Of course, an obvious difficulty, that guy would need to have the Reloop thing with him/her to do that. While I might even be able to find a guy (perhaps a friend of a friend), this would be in another country, so I could not even lend him my device so easily.
A nastier alternative (more difficult for me than any of the previous ones) is to swallow the frog and ... use it under Windows; but I would not like to quit as of yet.
