two paths I can think of. 1) Create an kernel input device driver that reads the char device. no changes needed to DirectFB. 2) Create an input device for DirectFB, that will open the device and handle all input. Both solutions require you to deal with keys and key mapping I would assume. #1 Allows the device to be more generic, #2 less. I had to take an X touchscreen driver and *port* it to the DirectFB device type. It took a little for me as I wasn't used to controlling hardware directly. It wasn't too bad though as I only had to deal with X/Ys. -- Nathanael D.
