I found my problem has to do with spin.xfs + xconout2.xdd

In combination with SPiN xconout2.xdd creates a nameless device in /dev
instead of /dev/gemcon

A similar problem I found when combining spin.xfs with vmoose.xdd (needed 
for XaAES). If spin.xfs is executed BEFORE vmoose.xdd, a nameless device 
is created in /dev instead of /dev/moose. I discovered this when looking 
into U:\dev\ on the desktop, and noticing a device icon (I use THiNG) 
without a name. This problem was solved after that I changed the order of 
those two files in my mintfolder. For SPIN + XCONOUT2 I have not yet found 
a working solution.
