Hello, My sister-in-law, who's using Ubuntu 7.10, is doing medical transcription. They have this USB pedal they use to control a program that plays back the audio. The device is a standard USB HID Joystick device that happens to only have three buttons. The company that makes the software she's supposed to use has a linux version. This software looks for a pedal at /dev/hiddev*. Ubuntu creates an input device, /dev/input/js0, which not only isn't in the right place but is an input device rather than a hiddev device.
Is there some way I can get a hiddev device out of this thing? I imagine the answer involves udev somehow but I'm lost as to how to get it to create a device that accepts the HID ioctls. Please help! Thanks in advance, Andrew Jorgensen /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
