Re: mouse driver

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the reply.

If your driver is targeted for Tiger or later, there is an easier way to write a mouse driver. In Tiger, I added the following in kernel 

Right now, unless we can convince otherwise, we are targeting 10.3 and up.

I think the thing to do is dig in and start with a bare-bones (perhaps codeless?) custom driver to at least match our device and then go from there. I just need a small push in the right direction.

Thanks!

classes the IOHIDFamily:

IOHIDInterface
IOHIDEventDriver
IOHIDEventService

IOHIDInterface is a matchable in-kernel interface to the HID Manager.

IOHIDEventService is a new class synonymous with IOHIKeyboard and IOHIPointing. It allows you to dispatch any type of system event without the need of create an additional service instance.

IOHIDEventDriver is the default HID driver installed on the system. It is a subclass of IOHIDEventService and matches on the IOHIDInterface nub. Depending on your device you may only need to subclass this particular service to provide extended behavior for your device.

Please note that the headers are not very well documents as of yet, but should be in the near future. You can also reference the source via Darwin, by checking out the IOHIDFamily.
