I do not know too much about the Linux innards, but my opinion is that the HID API to userland should be the bare reports. Windows is handling it that way for a good reason. Far too many HID devices have either non-informative descriptors (declaring a byte array report) or declaring a report which does not match the data contained. Parsing a report is definitely a userland job. -- -------------------------------------- Code Mercenaries Hard- und Software GmbH Karl-Marx-Str. 147a 12529 Schönefeld OT Grossziethen Germany Tel: x49-3379-2050920 Fax: x49-3379-2050930 HRB 16007 Potsdam Geschäftsführer: Guido Körber, Christian Lucht ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
