Hi. I bought a USB gender changer (5€) and today I've played with it to see what the smartphone's capable of. I really only have one goal and that is to avoid having to buy a BT keyboard for faster input in the terminal.
I've been able to connect two keyboards, they light up but doesn't "work" in the terminal (FSO). Is there something I can do to enable input from these external devices? In X: Neither keyboard worked = generated characters in the terminal under X. If I chvt 1 to the console (actually had to /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop for chvt to work properly): Characters do appear but the keyboard is not recognized as a swedish one. I can't get either of € or £ to appear. I'd be very happy if anyone could tell me what to do. Thanks in advance, Fredrik Wendt Devices tested: lsusb: ID 0781:5406 SanDisk Corp. Cruzer Micro 4GB Flash Drive dmesg: scsi 5:0:0:0: Direct-Access SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro 4.04 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 note: memory stick result: Seemed to work as it should. lsusb: ID 1050:0010 dmesg: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Yubico Yubico Yubikey] note: miniature keyboard from Yubico.com - used for authentication (I use it with OpenID) result: dmesg happily reports that it's inserted. Something creates /dev/input/input5 and if I cat/echo that I get data when the button/key on the Yubikey is pressed. The terminal doesn't get the input though (having the built in keyboard visible/hidden makes no difference). lsusb: ID 0a5c:200a Broadcom Corp. Bluetooth dongle dmesg: - note: bluetooth dongle from Broadcom (I've used it extensively listening to music with my A2DP headset) result: Seems to work just fine - dmesg mentions it and hciconfig shows the device. Will use this interface/device to compare A2DP performance with the built-in bluetooth interface/device. lsusb: ID 04b3:3025 IBM Corp. dmesg: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [LITE-ON Technology USB NetVista Full Width Keyboard.] note: the keyboard I got from Lenovo with my ThinkPad T61 result: Seems to work just fine. NumLock is lit/turned off when pressed. /dev/input/event5 is created when the keyboard is inserted and data comes running in when keys are pressed. The terminal doesn't get the input though (having the built in keyboard visible/hidden makes no difference).
