You might want to see how we managed to create new devices through uinput by looking at libevdev[1] (see libevdev/libevdev-uinput.c). You might actually also want to use libevdev instead of manually doing the ioctls and processing of all the small things :) Cheers, Benjamin [1] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libevdev/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
