What do you mean by "reverse-engineering"? I wrote a userland USB HID driver using libusb for an experimental RTS game engine as an afternoon project -- no "reverse-engineering" required at all, and my driver works equally well with the Strategic Commander or a Gravis USB gamepad or probably any other USB mouse or joystick-like device. usb(3) is your friend. I haven't yet figured out how to turn on the lights under some of the buttons, however. If you figured this out, please tell me how to do it. :) Brian -- Brian Buchanan brian@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
