Currently I'm working on a XKB plugin for the console client. Some months ago Marcus and I had a discussion about this. Marcus spoke about a repeater for the keyboard from which X can read input. I can design a protocol to speak with the keyboard via this driver. This protocol includes console switching, controlling LEDs, reading scancodes and keycodes, setting hardware bits like repeat and locking, etc. X should be addepted to use this, the console switching code is in the input driver of X and it has access to the keyboard IIRC. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
