Re: [Tuxnes-devel] Tuxnes freebsd Saitek gamepad question

[Michael M. <MMe...@ma...>]

I am not sure what you mean by add-in daemon.

Here is basically what I am saying.

For freebsd 5.3 let's say I boot-up the machine and then plug-in the=20
usb gamepad to my laptop.  Freebsd detects this device and assigns
it a device node /dev/uhid0. Under freebsd 4.x you had to make
all your device nodes with a special MAKEDEV script.

I would assume since this is a usb device that the usb daemon
would have to hand off information to whatever application=20
(tuxnes) wants to use or tuxnes might be trying to pull from
somewhere else maybe X - just don't know on this.

Does this help?

it's the only possibility that comes to mind.
