Hello,
It is the first time for me to use the input device. I have a keypad
driver registers a keypad the device as an input device in the kernel
2.6. The registration of the driver is OK, I can see the interrupt
whenever there is key pressed. How can I verify if it works fine?
Where can I check keycode value of the key pressed?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Here is what I have in system:

If the input device is registered properly, there should be corresponding
/dev/input/eventX created. Running evtest (from input-utils) on this
node will decode and dump all the scancodes/keycodes that come out of the
corresponding input device.
