is there a way to see which devices are registered nodes in the input layer? i have mice connected to my box, they are shown in /proc/bus/usb/devices, but they do not seem to be connected to the device special files in /dev/input and /dev/usb. none of these devices works. the magic happens in input.c, i guess, but how can i see IF it happens in the first place? Which device drivers are necessary to use the usb devices? the USB maintainer tells me that hid is capable to do it all, but he says that his responsibility ends there and the input layer is non of his buissness. (c: what device drivers do i need on the input layer, and do i need one for kbd and one for mice? I work with the backport by Aivils Stoss to 2.4.19 |

Trivial if you have 2.5 (/proc/bus/input/devices). I don't think this is present in 2.4 yet. > i have mice connected to my box, they are shown in > /proc/bus/usb/devices, but they do not seem to be connected to > the device special files in /dev/input and /dev/usb. none of > these devices works. http://www.linux-usb.org/linux.conf.au.02/talk/html/slide_11.html might help explain things. > the magic happens in input.c, i guess, but how can i see IF it > happens in the first place?

The Linux USB guide (linked off http://www.linux-usb.org) has detailed instructions on getting this to work. > I work with the backport by Aivils Stoss to 2.4.19 You shouldn't need this for such a basic application.
