For those wondering (probably a few, lol) this is the WIP patch that is actually working for the standard HID gamepad I have. I also tried testing in a PS2 controller attached in a USB converter but FreeBSD does not recognize it. The configure part is still missing and it required "-lusbhid" to compile and I didn't find the correct place to add that so I'm currently compiling manually.
I labeled it as FreeBSD 10 only because it was the only one I tried, probably may require changes to support other BSD systems.
This task is proving to be harder than I expected due to my lack of knowledge in the area and any help testing is appreciated specially with different gamepads/joysticks (for example a joystick with a HAT).
The problem with configure.ac is that both usbhid.h and dev/usb/usbhid.h must be included and that would require a compound "-o" switch to ensure that both must be present in order to make the driver.
The last problem is where to put that -lusbhid is required when compiling the file. And of course testing in the configure script if usbhid lib is present.
Best regards, Bruno
