[Question] How to write one keyboard driver without changing hid-input?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, everyone.

   I have a MS Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 that have USB port.

Under Windows XP, it work fine, however, Some extend keys do not work under Linux. I found hid-input that do not report PRESS event to input-subsystem when such extend key is pressed . I got this reason later, It map such "Zoom" key to KEY_UNKNOWN, and ignore them.
Its keymap is hard-coded.

I try to write one driver for this keyboard now. but I found if we do not change or copy hid-input.c, then I must write a lot of code to support it. Which guru wrote driver like
this under hid_input support? Would you like give some tips?

I think this driver is simple. It only need we emit some event when key related is pressed,
do not need input event handler.
Thanks in advanced.
