>Description:
The new Xbox360 ships with gamepads with regular USB connectors. They
are HID, but Microsoft crippled them by removing their report descriptor
and changing the DeviceClass to 0xff (vendor specific).
>How-To-Repeat:
Connect an Xbox360 gamepad to your NetBSD box. You won't be able to use
it.
