My new QHY 5-III 200M received today works in SharpCap on Windows with the latest QHY beta driver (it's too new for the stable version).

It does not work in Ekos. Some dmesg lines:

[ 88.004084] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 4
[ 88.088139] usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 8
[ 88.354541] usb 2-1: new SuperSpeed Gen 1 USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd
[ 88.385083] usb 2-1: LPM exit latency is zeroed, disabling LPM.
[ 88.386109] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1618, idProduct=c193, bcdDevice= 0.00
[ 88.386129] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[ 88.386147] usb 2-1: Product: QHY5III200-20220421
[ 88.386164] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: QHYCCD

The device ID is apparently c193, and it shows up in lsusb (first line):

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1618:c193
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

My rules.d file has this line for the QHY5II200:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="1618", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0200", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -t fx3 -I /lib/firmware/qhy/QHY5III200.img -D $env{DEVNAME}"

Clearly, it has the wrong device ID 0200 - should be c193. Some basic things work like the number of rows and columns, but not much more.
Any suggestions? Is there a missing driver that I can install?

Thanks in advance!
