> 3. I ran the evtest code That won't help. You need something that understands hiddev events, not input events. There is an outdated document on http://www.frogmouth.net/hid-doco/linux-hid.html that explains this, a bit. http://www.frogmouth.net/hid-doco/examples/hiddev-misc/dump-events.c is kinda similar to evtest, although you'll likely need to hack it a bit to make the messages more meaninful.
