Hi Dianna,

Thanks for your reply.

In fact my problems are in fact even more basic.

The command 'sendevent'
requires following parameters
device
type
code
value

How do I have to specify all these parameters.

Let's take for example the emulator and let's assume I'd like to press
the 'down' key

My questions are:
device: is this the device string, that I can find with "cat /proc/bus/
input/devices"
type: what is this?
code: what is this?
value: I assume this is what I could find in the *.kl files, that you
mentioed.

In order to bother you and the forums less with this kind of questions
I would be glad to be pointed to the adequate documentation explaining
how sendevent is working and what
the parameters of sendevent mean.



thanks in advance
