Arnaud,
thanks for your reply.

Because libhid is based on libusb and libusb is a usermode driver, does this 
mean that the application linked with libusb must be running under root?
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I tried libusb in the past and I can remember, that I had to set the setuid 
bit for the linked application to get it run.
This is one thing which I want to avoid and therefore this time I selected 
hiddev to program to. BTW, hiddev would fit nicely for the things I want to 
do ....
