Hi All! X - X windows system K - Linux kernel E - Events as well INTRODUCTION ------------ xke is userspace program which is capable read and recognize Linux kernel generated events of input devices. xke translate Linux kernel events and send to X windows system. Main goal is keyboar multimedia key utilization. As input xke uses /dev/input/eventXX device files. As output xke uses Xtst.so library alias Xtest extension. xke uses unified Linux input event system. xke don't care what input device is connected in the box. From point of view of xke differs only device name and some parmeters. So xke satisfactory works with keyboard, mouse and tablet. xke can connect to local X server any time when end-user will do it, because use Xtst library. End-user may start and stop xke during X sesion and use user specific settings. Right now xke maps key press/release events to generate key (key-press/release) series launch programs generate mouse motions generate button-press/release Button press and x y axis motion events will be sended to X "unchanged". xke is a merge and rewrite from the programs: evdev XFree86 driver by Zephaniah E. Hull xkeymouse by Henrik Sandklef tuntiko XFree86 driver by Daniel Skarda http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/files/xke-0.01.tar.bz2 Best regards, Aivils Stoss |

Keep in mind I am one of the clueless. You wrote xke? Googling gets me foreign language syntax and an automobile made by Jaguar. I read your report and it theoretically makes sense, but practically what does it mean? I mean what can I do with xke that I cannot do now with Ruby?

Nowadays we have keyboards with lots of additional , extented keys (me have 22 multimedia keys). During year 2000 one of this project administrator create Linux input event system. This event system up to this day is used very rarely by some Xfree86 drivers only. Exists keyboard tracker too. I decided create "one key press launcher". In production system we use only 3 keys: Power - launch netscape, Sleep - launch xmms, Weekup - launch xterm, that is on PS/2 kbd. Exists lots of small utils what cat do lots of "multimedia" jobs. Sample: aumix for sound adjusting. Nothing is ruby related, just historical bonds with this project. Aivils |

No extended keys at all, no GUI, except on 3279's that would draw vectors like SVGZ. Reason also for Ruby rather than LAN with another PC on it. Can't teach an old dog new tricks... Thanks.

I saw ur 6 headed PC set up. can u send the hardware details?. is ur setup supports independent speakers(ie, one speaker for each user). If yes how can we accomplish the same. regards vineesh On Mon, 2004-12-06 at 13:34, Aivils wrote: > On Saturday 04 December 2004 19:09, Hugo Vanwoerkom wrote: > > > > --- Aivils <ai...@un...> wrote: > > > > > Hi All! > > > > > > X - X windows system > > > K - Linux kernel > > > E - Events as well > > > > > > INTRODUCTION > > > ------------ > > > > > > xke is userspace program which is capable read > > > and recognize Linux > > > kernel generated events of input devices. xke > > > translate Linux kernel > > > events and send to X windows system.
