Write a driver? :) The device doesn't claim to conform to the USB mouse protocol, so you'll have to write something to interpret what its doing and react accordingly. On the plus side, HID devices have a limited set of functionality, so you could write some sort of hid-to-sysmouse proxy. USB HID has an idea of buttons and movement axes I think... been a while since I read that spec. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve [email protected] | www.FreeBSD.org _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
