hi, I'm working on extending X/Linux to use different keyboards with different X Servers. There are two parts to this problem, one I've almost finished and the other I need your help. I've almost finished patching the Linux HID Keyboard driver (2.4.19 kernel) so that it creates device nodes /dev/keyboards/keyboard?? for every USB keyboard. If you ignore these, then Linux functions as usual - all keyboard input streams are merged as the system keyboard. If you open one of these nodes, then events from that keyboard are sent through that node and are not sent to the system keyboard any more. I've written all that code except for reading from the nodes (open and close work fine). I want to write an X-Input extension to open one of those nodes and read the scan codes and pass them through to X as a keyboard. This is where I need your help. How do I do that? Should I use scan-codes, or is something else better? tim http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~tnw13 Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBPcr1NwccL5A6x/wfEQJT5QCglqCWh876i9OA5NbJ5JLJ3plctqYAnidJ rt3iMqDoTYK7vsAGkmzVq+5W =Zecz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
