I have been using Unimotion in my application to read motion sensor values for Apple laptops, but have been unable to port the code to 10.6 64-bit. (I have also tried SMSLib and had the no luck either.)
- Is there any simple 10.6 compatible
SMS API?
If there is no alternative, I am also considering patching one of the libraries. Both Unimotion and SMSLib use the following call, which has been deprecated in 10.5 and removed from 10.6 64-bit:
result = IOConnectMethodStructureIStructureO(
dataPort, kernFunc, structureInputSize,
&structureOutputSize, &inputStructure,
outputStructure);
- Is there any simple way to replace
this with new IOKit calls?
(This post did not really get me much further)

That very document suggests replacements. What about this one?
As far as I can tell, there should be no difference except for the order of the arguments. That said, I've never used I/O Kit, so I could be missing some critical conceptual difference that will make this call not work as the old one did.
