Hi
The linux_input module doesn't detect the keyboard on various
PowerMacintosh'es, resulting in the failure of the call
directfb->GetInputDevice (directfb, DIDID_KEYBOARD, &keyboard)
This issue coinstrained us to use linux_input on i386 and AMD and
ps2mouse+keyboard on PowerPC machines [1], while we would like to rely
on a single input handler module (linux_input) for all architectures.
I did some experiments with a PowerMac whose relevant characteristics
are reported below together with dfbinfo output: any idea how to address
this issue?
thanks
