[PATCH] Adds SNES mouse support to gamecon
From: Raphael Assenat
Date: Mon Mar 20 2006 - 23:13:01 EST
This patch adds SNES mouse support to the gamecon joystick driver and
corresponding documentation to joystick-parport.txt
SNES gamepads and mice share the same type of interface so they both can be
connected to the parallel port using a simple interface. Adding mouse
support to a gamepad driver may sound funny at first, but doing so in
this case makes it possible to connect and SNES gamepads and mice at the
same time, on the same port.
This patch applies to today's (Mar 20, 2006) Linus git kernel at
rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
