Good! This will work fine, if you don't mind running the driver as
"root".

If you would like to run the driver without "-u root" (as I assumed
you wanted to do from your previous message), then the above
instructions might still help.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to reply to the
mailing list (please don't reply to me personally).
