Hi all, I'm not on the list, but I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for libhid and I've got a very specific-purposed Perl implementation underway (should be headed for CPAN soon.)
The problem I wanted to solve was simply accessing a magstripe reader without the dvorak keymap garbling it. Having an explicit device handle rather than STDIN is a big plus for daemon usage too. I could find no other way to access a specific "keyboard device" while keeping it from being connected to the linux console. So, this is basically a "pseudo-keyboard driver". Should work for most of the alphanumeric and numpad keys, plus shifted versions. http://scratchcomputing.com/svn/Linux-USBKeyboard/trunk Feedback is welcome, please cc. Thanks, Eric -- Introducing change is like pulling off a bandage: the pain is a memory almost as soon as you feel it. --Paul Graham --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com --------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ libhid-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/libhid-discuss
