Thanks, I read the source and found the CDEV stuff... I had to disable the sc0 device to get access to it. and then I had to hack kbdcontrol to open /dev/kbd0 instead of stdin (which is what it currently does) Shouldn't you be able to specify the kbd you want to control with kbdcontrol? Maybe default to stdin.. but allow access to the keyboard device as specified?
