Hi Juliusz,
Yes, I'm planning to develop only for Linux Fedora Core 1 and 2 (kernels 2.4
and 2.6 respectively).
So, are you saying that if I develop a Input Core driver (Serial and USB) it
is not necessary to develop a XFree86 driver?
Chang-Hsieh Wu wrote me:
"1. Yes, you need to write a kernel character driver for USB Device.
What kind of pointing device do you have? Could you tell me the
device name? Maybe, I can support you.
2.You need XFree driver and USB device character driver to work together."
Please Chang-Hsieh Wu, could you confirm what you said?
Juliusz and Chang-Hsieh Wu, excuse me for those newbie questions,
thanks very much again,
Edgard Lima
