Logitech USB wheel driver for Solaris

This driver is written for, and tested with, a Logitech "Driving Force" USB wheel (normally for a Playstation 2).

Status: Gives back full data, but no X server or program knows what to do with it, as far as I know

LEGAL DISCLAIMER

1. I am not publicising any "Reference code". At no time did I cut-n-paste anything from Sun's foundation code into my own code. Additionally, at virtually no point is my code the same as Sun code, save where the USB interface requires identical syntax to function.

2. All the USB-related Solaris interfaces I use, have already been made public in Solaris 8 include files: /usr/include/sys/usb/usba.h and /usr/include/sys/usb/usbai.h. Therefore, I am not disclosing any private information; merely organizing existing public information into a more easily comprehensible form.

3. There are no warnings in usba.h and usbai.h that they are temporary, internal-only, or "uncommitted" interfaces. Therefore it is reasonable to assume, per standard Sun proceedure, that anyone is free to use them (if they can only figure out how!)

4. All other (non-USB) Solaris interfaces that I use, are long-standing public Solaris driver interfaces.

Now that's out of the way, you can download dfwheel.tar.gz, last updated May 15th, 2003

As I mentioned, there are no known programs under solaris that make use of this driver. Maybe you could write one? :-)

Do note that someone from the USB team has publically posted on comp.unix.solaris, that the API will change in future solaris releases! The code here is simply based around the public header files that ship with Solaris 8, and thus is "what works now". So if you want to play with USB hardware now, this is what you can base it around, with the realization that you'll have to recode in a year or something.
