@@ -2,3 +2,10 @@ USBView is a GTK program that displays the topography of the devices that are
plugged into the USB bus on a Linux machine. It also displays information on
each of the devices. This can be useful to determine if a device is working
properly or not.
+
+For this program to be useful, you will need to mount the debug filesystem
+(debugfs). Add this line to your /etc/fstab:
+
+ debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
+
+Now a simple `mount debugfs` will make the USB info available to USBView.
