Hello,
I'm writing Linux support for gaming USB keyboards/mice and think about
porting functionality to FreeBSD.
While I'm installing FreeBSD and strolling through the source fighting
with the differences to Linux, maybe someone could give me a starting
point:
In Linux there is a hidraw chardevice from which the unparsed, polled
reports can be read, and that supports ioctl's to read/write feature
reports.
Is there something similar in FreeBSD?
Thanks and have a nice day
Stefan
