Hm, no, not a good idea :) It's much better to wrap things like this through a userspace library that does not use ioctls. It looks like you might be able to do everything through libusb/usbfs to do the special things this device has, and let the HID driver take over the mouse part. Or am I missing something? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
