For HID, read the HID spec, HID usage tables, the Linux USB Guide
and the Linux USB Programmers Guide. They are all linked off
http://www.linux-usb.org, in various ways.
Try Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance for the right mindset
for reading HID specs.

Working as Joystick depends on certain application information and
usages. It may well work by using the normal joystick driver (what
do the logs say when you modprobe the input and joystick drivers?

If you are not subscribed, then your query is probably a "user help"
question, and you probably wanted to post your query to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] If you want to write a
driver, you probably need to be subscribed to keep up to date.
