| |
Well, my cuecat driver is ready for testing.
http://zinx.xmms.org/cuecat/cuecat-2.6-0.0.2.tar.gz
It does not use the same output format as the driver floating around for 2.2.x/2.4.x kernels.
It currently requires a patch which changes the order serio drivers are searched in (the newest driver is searched first now), and adds a function to walk through the serio port list.
I'm hoping the patch will be included in to the kernel at some point in time -- It's available separately at: http://zinx.xmms.org/cuecat/linux-2.6.0-test9-serio.diff
The driver has some pitfalls, such as standing between -all- serio devices capable of supporting a cuecat, and not just the ones with a cuecat on them (And it has no way to specify which ports to use), but hopefully I'll think of a good way to fix that before 0.0.3.
The major number is dynamicly allocated -- If you aren't using devfs, check /proc/devices. The minor number for reading all cuecats is 0, and the minor number for individual cuecats is their [driver-assigned] index plus 1. Recommended names are: /dev/cuecat/cuecats /dev/cuecat/0 /dev/cuecat/1 and so on.
Questions, comments, patches, and even some flames are welcome.
