I'm going mad: /dev/tty - device not configured!

[Paolo S. <ar...@ti...>]

Please, could you explain me differences between /dev/tty, /dev/tty0 and
/dev/console?

I have an embedded linux box with a custom keyboard and a custom frame
buffer. The keyboard driver sends scancodes to 'handle_scancode' in
keyboard.c and it is not registered as console, or any type of device.

At the boot i dont specify anything to boot the kernel.

It uses correctly both the frame buffer console and the keyboard correctly.

The only problem is that when using other programs, like GII, that opens
/dev/tty to access the keyboard, they dont work and report:

    /dev/tty - device not configured

Who has to register /dev/tty? How could my keyboard be reached by /dev/tty?

I'm going mad... 8-(((

- may the pinguin b with u -

Have a nice day,
