Does anybody know if any of the BSD's (or FreeBSD 3.X) supports the keyboard-click emulation in the latest keyboard drivers? Several (4? 5?) years ago I threatened to write one because I have trouble typing without the tactile|auditory feedback. On a regular keyboard I buy the kind that click; or at work use Sun's click -y command. The world-renouned Assitistive Technology Clinic here in Seattle (U of W) recently threw me to the wolves once they learned that in addition to requiring keyboard-to-speech software on a laptop, I wanted the click-style keyboard. --Actually, this is a requirement rather than a want. The speech pathologist said sorry; but here is a list of vendors that you can check out. I was slightly surprised given the Clinic's reputation for doing the impossible; but then again, I don't fit their mold and my open-source bias certainly counted against me. Nutshell: if we don't have it, I'll have to hack the driver. I've always taken as much responsibility for my needs as I humanly can, and it's going to make major headlines when I've got my very own FreeBSD laptop assisting my verbal communication. thanks for any clues re the driver status, gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
