On the subject of input devices, I had a recent
project that may be
just up your alley. First, I changed my xorg.conf to only read from
one specific mouse device, then I used the input event interface that
the kernel creates for each extra mouse, and wrote a c program that
mapped five mice.....(contd)
Neat....it looks like something I'd like to try very soon.
Programs that use /dev/dsp
and read from the tty can't play together so easily, and are in the
long run difficult to compose and perform with (I no longer consider
any of them worth my time). Selfishly, I lament the time others spend
working on such projects that do so much less to benefit me than they
could. You of course don't owe me anything, so this is a request
rather than a demand.

Err....you have the benefit of a certain experience that I don't, since
I am not much of a hacker, but I am trying my best. I am sure I will
be sharing things once they are worth anybody's while.
(Oh, and my laptop went toast this afternoon, so I will be slightly
delayed in processing your request!)
