Re: Linux event interface XFree86 Input driver

[Zephaniah E\. H. <wa...@ba...>]

Ok!  Status update!

The good news is, I have the most basic of support functioning.

I can start with the USB keyboard only, type on it, change video modes,
even change out of X.

And there are several pieces of bad news.

That's it, no support for setting the repeat, or anything dealing with
LEDs, or anything with bells or whistles.

In addition, when you switch out of X for some reason something is
catching in a tight loop, it stops as soon as I switch back to X,
however it is a rather nasty bug.

And, as the last bit, I need to go to sleep about an hour ago.

I don't have a patch ready, but I'll make one once I get the bug fixed,
and a few more features added (like repeat rate, LEDs, and properly
translating the keys that X and the input core have different symbols
for), a patch will be made.

(As a side note, the repeat rate setting and LEDs are precisely where I
will need to refer to the code provided, and any additional
documentation that could be provided.)

Please?)

P.S.: I'm not subscribed to linuxconsole-dev, so anything not cced to me
will never be seen.
