This is getting more common in tablets and laptops. It replaces PS/2 for the internal keyboard and pointing devices. This is simpler and cheaper than using up USB ports, and also simpler than the old and quirky PS/2 protocol. The HID spec is the same no matter what transport is used (it is also applicable for Bluetooth). Ideally we could create a separate HID bus manager that would handle all these devices in a generic way, but that is a lot of work nad extra complications for uncertain gains. For now, just move the common files to a shared directory where both drivers can use them. As a result the files are compiled twice, which is what we want, because currently they hardcode some device paths that need to be different for each driver.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
