Subject: Creating a separate event node for each device composite

Hi,

Is it possible to make Linux to create a separate /dev/input/eventX
node for all the device composited ?

Example: if my device is supporting Mouse, KBD and Consumer

if I want to create three event nodes for each, like /dev/input/event1
/dev/input/event2 /dev/input/event3.

is it allowed in BT HIDP ? Please help me to understand..

thanks in advance.

that is more a question for linux-input since it is HID related. Bluetooth is just transporting the HID reports. It is not interpreting them or creating the actually input devices.
