[Kbde-general] kbde and gentoo 2.6.14 r5

[Raj - <rs...@ya...>]

 Hello,
 
 I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but kbde doesn't work for me.  I'm using gentoo linux with 2.6.14-r5 kernel.  Everything compiles fine.  The module gets loaded:
 # lsmod
 Module                  Size  Used by
 kbde                    2252  - 
 nvidia               4084944  - 
 snd_ca0106             28676  - 
 snd_ac97_codec         93628  - 
 snd_ac97_bus            1672  - 
 #
 
 The device doesn't show until i execute kbde program once.
  # ls /dev/kbde
 ls: /dev/kbde: No such file or directory
 avatar ~ # kbde
 avatar ~ # ls /dev/kbde
 /dev/kbde
  # 
 
 After that it works for one keyboard entry in X.  Here is my keyboard entry in xorg.conf 
 Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier "Keyboard1"
         Driver  "keyboard"
         Option  "Device" "/dev/kbde"
 EndSection
 
 and then, nothing...
 
 any idea? nothing in /var/log/messages. doing in console doesn't work at all that I can tell. I have a USB keyboard that I plug in or unplug, doesn't make a diff. 
 
 What am I doing wrong?
 
 Regards
