Re: Mouse support in Maemo: Preliminary support

I'll bet read() is returning 0 or -1 resulting in a tight loop.

The following might help:


int br = read(fd, &event, sizeof (event));

Re: Mouse support in Maemo: Preliminary support

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment

FYI - just tried adding power via 4xAAA NiMH with two different 2.5in usb drives. Has just enough current to spin it up when fully charged but isn't reliable and wont work after a few mins.
