Hi. Does anyone know if there is a way to bind a specific input device to a virtual console? I am trying to implement a second "seat" in the sense of systemd-logind. Unfortunately, according to the systemd docs, a separate seat would require a graphical session to work. However, I am trying to do this for a virtual console. The lx:VT screen parameter can already be used to bind BRLTTY to a specific console. What is missing is the keyboard.
I've done something similar about 20 years ago with a very crude kernel patch. I was running an instance of Emacspeak on a specific terminal, and bound an extra USB keyboard to only emit keypresses to that terminal. Output was synthetic speech from a soundcard, and input came from that second keyboard. In a sense, what I want to do today is very similar, only that output is now Braille. The lx:VT screen parameter is exactly what I need on the braille display side, but the same question as 20 years ago still stands: Can I bind an input device to a specific VT? -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
