Hello. I realize that this must be fairly straightforward, but I haven't seen things all in one place in the archives or on the web.
Basically I am planning on writing a simple interface to usb devices (either keyboard or mouse) which just keeps track of the time that events occur for a client to look through later. I know that there are HIDDEV and EVDEV examples to be found on the guide written by Brad Hards at frogmount.net but I am having problems getting them to work. I configured the kernel -- setting CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y to try to run the EVDEV examples and pointed the first example code at /dev/input/event0, but it fails with a no such device error. The same thing happens when I configure the CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y for the hiddev examples when trying to use /dev/usb/hiddev0-15, etc. the usb_devfs is on since /proc exists, lsmod shows the hid module running and I can use both the usb mouse and usb keyboard that are install on the system -- what am I missing ? I am running 2.4.20-8 and did a total rebuild of the kernel each time. (Newbie question -- does recompiling a lot cause things to run out of wack ? Now I can't even run menuconfig because of new and strange library problems that were happening two builds ago...?! Downloading 2.4.21 fresh even does the same thing -- yikes ! How could I even start to fix that ... ?!) Thanks for any advice!
