Hi all,.. please excuse my newbie question. But I have one of these:

http://www.focusinfo.com/products/commandpost/commandpost.htm

It is a Focus CommandPost and it used to make editing video easier. It
works under Windows and Macintosh, and of course no Linux driver exists
for it.

I am determined to ge t this thing working under Linux. I plugged it in and
the kernel recognizes it as a HID and loads the module appropriately. I
thought since the keyboard driver was loaded that maybe this device just
sends out regular keyboard codes but that isn't the case.

Here is what dmesg says when I plug it in:

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x947/0xcf01) is not claimed by any active
driver.
usb.c: registered new driver hid
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1844
input0: USB HID v1.00 Device [0947:cf01] on usb1:2.0

When I run usbview to look at this device, usbview reports this:

I've never written a device driver for a USB device, and likely would not
know where to start. So I start here, with this list. Any words of advice,
instruction or encouragement are greatly appreciated.

Also, please respond to my email address, I am not a member of the list.

Thanks, Aaron Newsome
