I have /dev/psaux created ok, but then it seems that the synapctics drivers seraches for a /dev/input/event? which do not exists. It is possible to have a static entry "working everytime" (I mean, booting with/without external mouse, with/withour external keypad etc.)? If so I paint myself happy. Romano PD: totally unrelated. I was toying with the idea of trasforming a IR remote control in a "keyboard". I think there is a way to create a userspace input device and then feeding back the "keypresses" to the kernel... can you point me to more info on this? Thanks! -- Romano Giannetti - Univ.
