I'm afraid you'll have to dig up some documentation about what is the max value here is then. The fact that it works doesn't mean it's correct.
Vitaliy.
The only official documentation I can find is in Documentation/input/ff.txt and it doesn't say anything about the max for 'value'. I had a look at the kernel source instead. input_handle_event() in input.c only checks whether 'value' is >= 0 for EV_FF (which is why the event is ignored for INFINITE), ml_ff_playback() in ff-memless.c sets 'state->count' (which is an 'int') to 'value' and ml_get_combo_effect() finally counts down 'state->count' until it reaches zero. So there really is no limit here (accept what's given by the data type).
