Hello, i try using a serial sun5 keyboard on an x86 system. I've used the adapter described at the "Linux Input Project" site - and can see characters arriving on keypress / release when using e.g. minicom on the serial port the keyboard is attached to. Unfortunately i fail to get the keyboard itself working I'm using Linux 2.4.1. I do an insmod .../serial.o insmod .../serio.o insmod .../serport.o inputattach -skb /dev/ttyS0 & insmod .../input.o insmod .../evdev.o insmod .../keybdev.o but apart from an entry Mar 27 23:01:16 dell kernel: serio0: Serial port tts/0 in /var/log/messages i don't get any further reaction. Is there something special that i miss? Do i have to create any special devices in /dev/... ? How to debug the whole process? Is evtest usefull for that - or does it primarly deal with joystick devices / mice? Any hints will be highly appreciated - i'm just doing a version of an PS/2-to-serial adapter for attaching PS/2 (chording) keyboards (like the Handykey Twiddler2 http://www.handykey.com) to a Compaq iPAQ PDA running Linux - but testing / developing with the serial Sun5 keyboard on an x86 system makes development much easier.
