-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have finished doing all the work and investigation (and test program writing) I need to do, for all of the usb aspects of my grapghic tablet Xorg Xinput driver (well, THEY call it a driver). Yes, I know I've been owrking on it for a while now, but I need to move slowly for personal reasons. I can see that, for very up to date modules, Xorg wants to have hotplugging to work in their input drivers. My work contemplates using the existing FreeBSD devices (my test program uses uhid very nicely). So, I was wondering if anyone knows of any sort of software working in FreeBSD that doesn hotplugging (using dbus would be the way that Xorg contemplates), then could you tell me what it is, so I can look at it? I've already read up on dbus; it seems to be a messaging thing, so I just want to see some example of how dbus would see use in FreeBSD. I figure, since the devices I'm working on are quite inexpensive (about 60 bucks for a 8" by 6" model), it might just turn out to be popular, if I do a really good job of this. That's why I want to cross every T, dot every I. I was going ahead and adapting my test program to the Xinput example I have, when I realized I need the hotplugging feature. Thanks for any help. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIUslLz62J6PPcoOkRAkKuAJ9NS9MEapIX00nbZqFe35bdUnhUNgCfQOKS yufGBK0gpMYXIiOux7HGjmk= =BgYv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
