I've been playing with the "summing" mouse device, and it doesn't appear
to work as advertised. Here's a simple test...
mknod /dev/usb/mouse c 13 63
modprobe mousedev (input, hid, and friends are already loaded)
At this point, the kernel says:
mouse0: PS/2 mouse device for input0
mouse: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
If I run:
cat < /dev/usb/mouse
Everything works fine -- I get the output one would expect.
However, if I unplug the mouse and then plug it back in, I see:
mouse0: PS/2 mouse device for input0
And my 'cat', which is still running, no longers receives any input.
If I cancel the cat and restart it, I *still* get no input -- unless I
unload and then reload mousedev.
>From my reading of Vojtech's and Brad's messages, this is not the expected
behavior. If it is, it doesn't solve anything -- that is, the situation
with the cumulative mouse device is identical to the situation with it (in
this case, with a single USB mouse and a built-in trackpad).
