With the Linux Input driver (configure --enable-linux-input) you can use these devices. You should add "disable-module = keyboard" and "disable-module = ps2mouse", otherwise you'll get events twice. Currently all available devices are attached to each layer, so it needs some coding to give each head its own input device(s). -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
