Hi,
I have here a "Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander". It's basically
a fancy joystick (two axis plus rotation and a dozen or so buttons), but
it's not HID compliant, i.e. I can only use it via hidraw.
I already elaborated the "protocol" that it uses (
https://gist.github.com/3131917 ) and found out, that
drivers/hid/hid-microsoft.c is probably the proper location for this.
What have I done so far? I defined the product ID in
drivers/hid/hid-ids.h (USB_DEVICE_ID_SIDEWINDER_SC) and added an entry
to the id_table. Now I don't really now any further... my experience in
writing Windows device drivers doesn't really help here :-)
So here go my questions:
-The events intercepted by hidraw and written to /dev/hidrawX are sent
to the hid_driver.raw_event function, I guess?
-How do I tell the input subsystem what properties this device has? I
guess I need to do something in hid_driver.probe ...?
