I can't get the existing usb-hid mouse to work in win2k. It sees a device but it marks it as 
non-functional. After wrapping my head around this descriptor I can't really seem to reconcile what 
is here with the data we are passing in usb_mouse_poll()

I'm sure it works with a linux guest.. has anyone had -usb -usbdevice mouse working under windows ?

This descriptor seems slightly whacky compared to most mouse examples I've seen floating about on 
the net.


static const uint8_t qemu_mouse_hid_report_descriptor[] = {
     0x05, 0x01, /* Usage Page Generic Desktop */
     0x09, 0x02, /* Usage Mouse */
     0xA1, 0x01  /* Collection Application */
     0x09, 0x01, /* Usage Pointer */
     0xA1, 0x00, /* Collection Physical */
     0x05, 0x09, /* Usage Page Button */
     0x19, 0x01, /* Usage Minimum Button 1 */
     0x29, 0x03, /* Usage Maximum Button 3 */
     0x15, 0x00, /* Logical Minimum 0 */
     0x25, 0x01, /* Logical Maximum 1 */
     0x95, 0x03, /* Report Count 3 */
     0x75, 0x01, /* Report Size 1 */
     0x81, 0x02, /* Input (Data, Var, Abs) */
     0x95, 0x01, /* Report Count 1 */
     0x75, 0x05, /* Report Size 5 */
     0x81, 0x01, /* Input (Cnst, Var, Abs) */
     0x05, 0x01, /* Usage Page Generic Desktop */
     0x09, 0x30, /* Usage X */
     0x09, 0x31, /* Usage Y */
     0x15, 0x81, /* Logical Minimum -127 */
     0x25, 0x7F, /* Logical Maximum 127 */
     0x75, 0x08, /* Report Size 8 */
     0x95, 0x02, /* Report Count 2 */
     0x81, 0x06, /* Input (Data, Var, Rel) */
     0xC0,       /* End Collection */
     0xC0,       /* End Collection */
};

I have recompiled this through a HID compiler and the analysis seems correct.
So we are not describing a Z axis anywhere at all there..



This one passes a parse test and should give X & Y as 0->FFFF ABS while leaving Z as 8 bit relative.

     0x05, 0x01, /* Usage Page Generic Desktop */

     0x19, 0x01, /* Usage Minimum Button 1 */
     0x29, 0x03, /* Usage Maximum Button 3 */
     0x15, 0x00, /* Logical Minimum 0 */

     0x27, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00, /* Logical Maximum 0xffff */
     0x75, 0x32, /* Report Size 32 */
     0x95, 0x02, /* Report Count 2 */
     0x81, 0x06, /* Input (Data, Var, Rel) */
     0x09, 0x32, /* Usage Z */
     0x15, 0x81, /* Logical Minimum -127 */
     0x25, 0x7F, /* Logical Maximum 127 */

     0xC0,       /* End Collection */
};


I'm beginning to rate HID right up there with ACPI for complete brain melting factor..

(Not even compile tested yet.. still trying to fix the 1st one!)
