XHC-HB04 Issues.. HAL related

I've spent two hours fiddling. It appears HALUI = halui is active, however, for some reason I get the error halui.home-all along with errors related to "connected lost, cleaning up" after it found the device. For some reason XFCE in the 2.7 distro won't let me copy paste the text, and so I'm hoping perhaps somebody here knows this issue off the cuff. I have the right USB based device, and in theory this should work but it is not. When I cut apart the HAL file I can get the LCD DRO to work, but regardless I can't get anything else.
I'm suspecting it's something with HAL, but I use LinuxCNC and am not knowledgeable per say.

Andy,
I will definitely do that as I want to get down to the bottom of this, and in the end help others who might have issues.
I'll give that a shot later today, and check back in.
Thanks for the info, and I will see what happens with the easiest which is putting the XHC connection (that line you'd put in the ini I'm guessing) into the postgui then.

I tried to go the terminal route but after a while I surmised two screenshots may suffice.
It seems post gui didn't work, and my random tinkering didn't cut it. However, the example HAL application works, and I see input on the terminal.. I gave it a whirl on another computer with a fresh install, and other tinkering. I am obviously not experience, but I did spend several hours on it, and have tried to give it my best.

Hmm I still have an issue. Does anyone have a particular distro of linuxcnc and so forth that's shown to work? I suspect if I start with a working situation then at least I can go from there.
