Hi all,

just bumping this issue, triggered by the mentioning of PR 102066, and using a better subject line which might receive replies :-)

While trying to get my keyboard and its multimedia keys to work with usbhidctl (it doesn't really work at the moment), I came across this:

- the keyboard is only handled by *either* ukbd *or* uhid. In fact, if unpatched, uhid will not even try to consider the device, because of the following code inside uhid.c's uhid_probe() function:

        if (uaa->use_generic == 0) {
                /* give Mouse and Keyboard drivers a try first */
              return (ENXIO);
        }

That means that the keyboard always ends up as device ukbdX, and never as uhidY.

Before even trying to get it to work using uhid, I think this is the issue that needs to be sorted out: Can a device be handled by *two* independent drivers at once?
- If so, how?
- If not, what could a possible solution be?

Thanks & cheers,
Chris
