Why does syscons not use the key_lock flag bit so that the console keyboard can be "locked"? It looks like the ioctl function that returns syscons status knows about the keyboard_lock flag. The code to add this should be simple, just adding two lines to test the keylock flag in the keyboard status register, and returning 0 if it is set. _ _ _ __ michaele@mxim.com ' ) ) ) / /) / ` / /) Michael Enkelis / / / o _. /_ __. _ // /-- __ /_ _ // o _ (503) 641 - 3737 x2245 / ' (_(_(__/ /_(_(_(<_(/_ (___, /) )_/ <_(<_(/_(_/_)_
