In Windows, you do not need a special device driver to access HID-class devices (other USB devices need special drivers for accessing the device from userspace). However, to the best of my knowledge, there is no *direct* equivalent to the Windows HID API in either the Linux kernel, or in userspace. You can use libusb or libhid to access HID devices in Linux from userspace, but neither will be a drop-in replacement for the Windows HID API. http://libusb.sourceforge.net/ http://libhid.alioth.debian.org/ -- - Charles Lepple ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
