Hi,


Hi!

I have set up Gentoo on a system that I would like to use as a video,
music
player and sometimes to check my emails. There is a remote control
connected
to it and is detected as a serial keyboard. Now I want the
xorg-server
not
to process events coming from this "keyboard". I also have a
bluetooth
keyboard that I want to connect to that system and events coming
from
this
keyboard should be processed.

So, is it possible to deactivate one keyboard?


I think so, what about deactivating the one you do not want to use in
your
xorg.conf?

Thats exactly what I'm trying to do: deactivate the keyboard in my
xorg.conf. But how can I do it?


Removing the part in your conifg, I suppose. A question: Don't you want to
use the keyboard anymore with X?

I suppose you meant the part:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Standard Keyboard"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "de"
        Option      "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

If I remove this part from my config X would use a standard configuration for 
keyboads connected to that computer.
My goal is that only one keyboard will not work. This way I can use a daemon to 
process events coming from this device.

I haven't ever tried this, but have you looked into using a keyboard section with an option similar to:

Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

but replacing /dev/input/mice with the path to the keyboard you *do* want to use (I have no idea what that path would be...)?
