Hi,
maybe you know the input subsystem of linux that is very flexible in terms
of various input data interpretations.
Are there plans to implement something comparable into the freebsd system?
The background is, that I currently write a joystick driver supporting USB
joysticks for FreeBSD.
At the moment it supports the joystick api from linux which makes it easy
to port i.e. plib to use it.
I however would also like to support the input subsystem API which is some
what more complicated. So - before writing some emulating code for the
linuxulator I wanna ask if it is planned to put something equal into the
freebsd kernel.
webcamd already provides support for linux input API for at least one
type of input devices - wacom tablets. There is also preliminary support
for joydev (ulinux@r2494). But a lot of devices including usb joysticks
and non-wacom tablets use hid-core.c rather than their own driver...

And if you mean the approach that can be used by the console driver
there was GSoC 2007, not sure what happened thereafter.
