I was briefly looking at this in the beginning of the project, but I found it was a bit too raw for my purpose. Well, I was wrong... Based on the example in the Documentation (http://ns3.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg14216.html), together with the patch for HIDIOCSFEATURE (http://choon.net/forum/read.php?21,19545) and the same for HIDIOCGRAWNAME I was able to first write a small test program and later last night to actually build it into my software project. Thank you very much the effort in helping me with this.
