I think that the main problem was because, at that time, there was no such thing as the HID sub-system to avoid having to reimplement things twice for Bluetooth and USB devices. And adding support for a specific device in the hidp driver isn't the best way to do this. Nowadays the driver for joysticks and keyboards are the same whether Bluetooth or USB. > Also I like the fact that you have dropped my wicked out-of-active-area > pseudo-buttons support.

I removed it because the other drivers didn't implement it. If it were to be implemented, the USB drivers would need to support it as well, so that the interface is agreed upon. Better start with something small, and get it merged, then discuss extensions. > What's that "mode 2 patch" you're talking about? Should it be applied > to hidd, and is it available somewhere? It's at: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/bluez/devel/bluez-activate-wacom-mode2.patch?view=markup And it's a patch to input plugin for bluetoothd, not hidd. hidd is the BlueZ 3.x daemon, we've been at BlueZ 4.x for a while. The bluetoothd patch is already in Fedora rawhide, and the kernel patch will get there once we've released Fedora 11 Beta.
