evtest failure

[James S. <jsi...@li...>]

Has anyone tried evtest out. I tested out on a system with a PS/2 keyboard
and a USB mouse at work. The PS/2 keyboard is working for the console as
did the USB mouse with gpm. I wrote a program to access both devices but
it didn't work. So I though to try out evtest. It also failed. Here is the
info for my system:

evtest: error reading: Inappropriate ioctl for device


This result is for BOTH 2.4.3 and ruby. The second device was not even see
by evtest for my ruby kernel. Any ideas? Please tell me your results.
Thank you.
