Dear list, I'm running out of ideas how to convince my USB barcode scanner to send its data through a device node instead of inserting it into the kernel's keyboard subsystem, because I'd like to be able to tell the two (PS/2 keyboard and USB barcode scanner) apart.
Before I try to adapt the HID driver source myself, I wanted to ask here... this problem seems fairly common to me, so I might not be the first to put effort into that. Is there something I have overlooked? I have found a few threads about similar problems, but the global blacklist/quirk table doesn't sound right to me - after all, I _want_ the device, it would just be nice to have the data come from somewhere else. Thanks in advance, Jan [1]: kernel message > usbcore: registered new driver hiddev > input: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Metrologic Metrologic Scanner] on > usb-0000:00:1d.0-1 > usbcore: registered new driver usbhid > drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
