Is it possible to get the two keyboards working simultaneously? Running: kbdcontrol -k ${kbddev} < /dev/console allows me to switch between them easily enough, but ideally I'd like for both of them to work at once. For some reason, I'm now evisaging keyboardd, doing something along the lines of: keyboardd -p /dev/kbd0 keyboardd -p /dev/kbd1 kbdcontrol -k /dev/syskeyboard < /dev/console :) > What I would really like to do is get the keyboard's extra keys to do > something useful.

I have discovered that at least the extra keys produce scancodes under Linux (though it appears to be outside some limit of usable scancodes and instead causes an error to be logged to dmesg). -- mathie+sig@wossname.org.uk http://www.wossname.org.uk/~mathie/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
