How does the usbhid driver assign minor numbers to a character device?

Update

In my quest for knowledge, I found a site that lists the Major/Minor numbers for the usbhid driver. As you can see below, my device is 13,32, which is reserved by the driver for mouse0. It would appear that I need to trick(?) the driver into assigning a different Minor number to it? ...or am I headed down the wrong path? (Admittedly, I'm more familiar with Windows driver dev, than linux)

USB device number mappings ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 13 char Input drivers 0 = /dev/input/js0 First joystick  1 = /dev/input/js1 Second joystick ... 32 = /dev/input/mouse0 First mouse 33 = /dev/input/mouse1 Second mouse

ls -l /dev/input/

Change rawhid device from mouse to joystick

I have a wireless PS3 controller adapter that is plugged in to my Ubuntu 14.04 box. It has 2 modes: XInput and DInput, which as far as I can tell, it just passes two different vendor/product id's over USB (XInput has a Microsoft XBOX id, the other is generic). The XInput mode works fine (loads xpad driver), but in the DInput mode the kernel identifies the device as a mouse, instead of as a joystick.

What do I need to change to make it identify as a joystick?
