Like I'm smart enough to know what that means :)

I'd guessed as much about the reason for itself IDd as 'Unknown Device' 
(in fact I did a cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > /tmp/devices and editied it 
to confirm such).  However, I'm not sure why a device that is identified 
as HID wouldn't be bound do the hid driver.  I do modprobe uhci, joydev 
and hid.  Input is already in the kernel (slight oversight on my part, 
but that shouldn't affect anything, right?) and I have also tried a 
different kernel configuration where all of the drivers were compiled 
directly into the kernel with no different results.  I did notice that if 
I move the device to a different USB port I have to modprobe hid again 
before it will work (er, show up in the listed devices under usbview) -- 
is that normal?

Is there any way I can force the hid driver to bind itself to the device?
