Message-ID: <1115181822.12538.0.camel@odyssey> (raw)
hey all-
I recently came across a USB touchscreen I'm trying to get to work
under linux. If I plug it in under windows it registers as an HID-
compliant device, and starts working with no additional drivers, so I
don't believe this should be very difficult. (I'm running Fedora Core 3
with linux kernel2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at incidentally)
By diffing changes to /proc/bus/usb/devices, I've gotten a the info:
P: Vendor\000 ProdIDÿff Rev= 1.00
which I've confirmed is the correct device.
I've then edited /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap and added the following lines:
usbhid 0x0000 0x0000 0xffff 0x0000 0x0000
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x00 0x00000000
keybdev 0x0000 0x0000 0xffff 0x0000 0x0000
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x00 0x00000000
mousedev 0x0000 0x0000 0xffff 0x0000 0x0000
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x00 0x00000000
(The device appears three times in /var/log/messages, as a "USB HID
v1.00 Mouse" a "USB HID v1.00 Device" and a "USB HID v1.00 Keyboard" but
of course I'm only interested in the mouse functionality)
Diffing the changes to /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid, the device is
appearing on 2-1, so I've created a rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d:
BUS="usb", PLACE="2-1", NAME="input/mouse0"
The device seems to be recognized as a usbhid device even without
the hotplug or udev changes, but gpm fails to recognize it. Even after
the changes, while /dev/input/mouse0 will appear correctly, gpm still
will not recognize the mouse.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Am I missing
something obvious here?
Cheers!
Steve Castellotti
