unique identify the same class of hid device(how to get joystick serial number)
Hello
I'm trying to find the way of distuguish between the same joysticks (logitech Extreme 3D) connected via usb to my machine. I have 3 of them and they should control different things. The problem is when U reboot your PC. Joystics have different /dev/input/jsX numbers. I have checked about 100 times(bash scripts) and usb device numbers and jsX where in many times differs. I have also studied pci names but they also changes from time to time.
Is there any way on get some unique info that can be use to detect those joysticks.
My last hope was lsusb -v info
but listings for them is also indentical
Is it possible to get joystick S/N ?Code:Bus 003 Device 004: ID 046d:c215 Logitech, Inc.

I really don't know off hand if it gives info that detailed, or not, but it looks like it might.oz

Sorry it didn't work out. I'll post again if I should run across anything else that might work.
