Hi

I have tried to get this working on Ubuntu 14.04 and found it not to
work. And on gentoo neither linux-3.14.14-gentoo. I edited the hid.h as
directed.

all I get is.

  workaroud:

  In /usr/src/linux/include/linux/hid.h
  change the value of the constant in line 344

  #define HID_MAX_USAGES                        12288

  from 12288 to a value greater than 32k,
  recompile and install the new kernel.
