hgame4

Usage

Overview

The hgame driver supports generic game controllers that attach to the HID transport backend, and presents them to applications over the evdev interface.

If the appropriate hardware is detected, the driver will be loaded automatically by devmatch(8). To load the driver manually at boot time, set the hgame_load variable to YES at the loader(8) prompt, or add it to loader.conf(5).

To give user applications access to the game controllers, allow user access to the /dev/input/event* nodes with inclusion of user in the games group.

Hardware

The hgame driver supports HID gamepads, joysticks, and controllers such as:

• 8bitdo USB Wireless Adapter 2
