Hi, I want to port the wacom driver for the GP2X portable console. It's a dual core ARM9 200Mhz linux 2.4 device without X11, only framebuffer. It has USB host ports avaliable on a breakout board sold separately.
Compiling the kernel module should be easy as the GP2X kernel source is avaliable. But as X11 is not avaliable I have to implement a way to read the raw /dev device node. My question is, how can I interface with the device node? Is there any document or do I have to browse through all the source code trying to get it myself? Can a mouse be emulated? I mean, create a device node /dev/input/mouse that is a wacom emulating a ps/2 mouse. The reason I want to do this is because there already are applications and games that support mouse (i.e.quake, libSDL...and,contradicting what I said before, a kdrive-based X11 server,but it's not very useful,as it only has xpdf ported) Anyway I also want a way to the apps to detect sension pressure, tilt...so I also have to develop a library for the apps to link against it. What's the best way to do the mouse thing, as a daemon, as a library, or "hacking" the linuxwacom driver(what I think it's not the best solution) ? Any ideas? ______________________________________________ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.
