Maybe as additional motivation for a better abstraction, like Marcel porposed, I would like to mention other keyboard devices on other Linux platforms that could benefit from this! For example I am currently working on Linux for PDAs. Some of them can be attached to external keyboards, mostly serial. Having a cleanly abstracted HID layer would make it possible to have those properly supported. Currently this is done by a pretty ugly hack calling handle_scancode() or similar :( > Regards > Marcel CU nils faerber -- kernel concepts Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Dreisbachstr. 24 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57250 Netphen D1 : +49-170-2729106 --
