Hi Pete,
I don't think that this is caused by the newly introduced generic HID
layer - I can see that both the bugreports in RH bugzilla are reported
against 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6. I have downloaded the source RPM and discovered
that these kernels are based on vanilla 2.6.19.2 - these kernels didn't
have generic HID layer yet, so this can't be the case.
The thing is that hid2hci sends through hiddev some excessivelly large
value, and HID subsystem then complains about it. It could be that the
device has a broken report descriptor (*), which results in buggy behavior
of sw.
It would be really nice to get the report descriptor - Vincent, it wasn't
in your output. There is a following code in drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c
#ifdef DEBUG_DATA
printk(KERN_DEBUG __FILE__ ": report descriptor (size %u, read %d) = ", rsize, n);
for (n = 0; n < rsize; n++)
printk(" %02x", (unsigned char) rdesc[n]);
printk("\n");
#endif
Could you make sure that you really compiled this file with
#define DEBUG_DATA
so that you get this output upon connection of new USB HID device?
(*) Which looks quite probable to me - I have been playing yesterday with
another masterpiece from Logitech (S510 keyboard), which also requires
fixing its report descriptor on-the-fly because it is fully usable :(
