It is questionable whether this is worth fixing, as hiddev has a very few real-world users (acupsd, nut, anything else?) - much more userland applications willing to fiddle with HID use libhid instead, for various reasons. I have recently started writing a code of hidraw, which should provide a real raw access to HID data (without parsing, as hiddev does), as this seems to be what userland applications want (and that's why they are not using hiddev - they want really raw HID events, not the parsed ones that hiddev gives them). But thanks for pinpointing this, I will solve it differently in hidraw. Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
