USB Mouse support in newmoused, working.

Posted Thu, 17 Aug 2006

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:

Download my moused framework (newpsm project on this site)
Recompile your kernel without "device ums"
Build moused, build the usbmouse module.
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

Keep up the good work! I'm especially interested in your progress on a new moused. I am very anxious to have my mouse front/back buttons and scroll wheel working! :)
