We're going to migrate to hardware drivers (at_keyboard / usb_keyboard) in the near future. I guess this resolves the stated problem, so I wouldn't invest a lot of effort in finding other solutions to it. If you want to help with polishing at_keyboard, usb_keyboard and the USB stack, that'd be most welcome. -- Robert Millan "Be the change you want to see in the world" -- Gandhi _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
