In the Linux 2.6 kernel the Input Layer system (and I think it's been fully backproted to recent 2.4.x kernels) there's support for user-space input devices. That means that, in the diagram on http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6396 , a user space program can generate input events (keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen events... etc). Can't user-space input support be used instead of KBDE-driver... this will mean that users will not need to compile KBDE-driver for each kernel release. -- damjan |
