input.h says that most of tem are. > Do you know if the HID constants are defined in some official place? On http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage one can find http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/Hut1_12.pdf where they are defined. > Are there any arguments to help us decide if HID or AT is the better standard > to go with? The pdf linked above gives the AT equivalents, and it looks like the coverage is bigger. I guess the mere fact that Linux's input layer uses them instead of the legacy AT-inspired keycode shows that it's a better way to go :) Samuel _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
