USB Mouse support in newmoused, working.

I've got my usb mouse working with the new moused. Most of the code in the module is ripped from usbhidctl(1). Now that I *actually* know how things work, I found that the read() wasn't actually one with side effects. Good.

You'll need the new moused framework for this module.

Basic instructions:

  1. Download my moused framework (newpsm project on this site)
  2. Recompile your kernel without "device ums"
  3. Build moused, build the usbmouse module.
  4. Run moused: ./moused -m usbmouse -d /dev/uhid0
If it doesn't work, let me know.

moused-usbmouse.tar.gz

Future plans:

  • Rewrite ugly bits
  • Port ums(4) hacks for broken mice
  • Test with more mice
  • Write uhid joypad support
