Hi, I've built myself a joystick adapter (project website: http://www.hexagons.de/index.php/USB_Joystickadapter), which has the purpose of connecting up to 2 Atari style joysticks (the ones with db9 connectors, found on 80's home computers like C64, Amiga,...) via USB. Current situation is: on Windows XP, 2 joystick devices get created with 2 axis and 2 buttons each (as intended); while on Linux, just one joystick device (/dev/input/js0) gets created, but with 4 axis and 4 buttons. This device provides one interface with one Interrupt-in Endpoint. The division into two joystick devices is done using an HID descriptor [1] with two configurations and the REPORT_ID tag. What I would like to know is, is there a problem in the Linux HID parser, or is its behavior intentional and those composite devices more like a dirty solution around the standards?
