Michael,

I didn't go through your entire post, but I thought you might find a
document I put together helpful:

  * Redhat Kernel Customization mini-HOWTO
  https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=1687group_id=14191

This was composed from notes I made while customizing the kernel on my
Redhat 7.0 installation.

Subject: "Capturing" keyboard/mouse events ?
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 17:50:32 +0100

Can someone give me some tips on how I can "keep track of" ALL keyboard and
mouse events that occur in X  ?
- i.e. not for a specific graphic component or application, but any X event
blablabla, you get the point
is there a way of doing this that will be the same on all unix/unix-"clones"
running X ?
I also need to pipe some info about some events when they occur, preferably
through stdout ...

Thanks for any help !!

Subject: Xterm -S  PTY problem
Date: 22 Feb 1999 10:09:57 GMT



Hi.

I'm trying to use "xterm -S" for input/otput from my program.
After everything's set I'm able to write to an xterm from 
my PTY MASTER process, but I can't read anything that is typed
in xterm window. Here's the source :
fd = open("/dev/ptyze", O_RDWR | O_NDELAY, 00666);
 tcgetattr(fd, term_data);
  term_data.c_lflag = ~ICANON;
  //term_data.c_lflag = ~ECHO;
  term_data.c_cflag = CREAD;
  term_data.c_cc[VTIME] = 0;
  term_data.c_cc[VMIN] = 1;
  tcsetattr(fd,TCSANOW,term_data);
  
  sprintf(tmp_str, "xterm -Sze%d", fd);

  pid = fork();
  if (pid == 0) {
execl("/bin/sh", "/bin/sh", "-c", tmp_str, NULL);
  }


 FD_ZERO(rfds);
  FD_SET(fd, rfds);
  tv.tv_sec = 5;
  tv.tv_usec = 0;
  
  res = select(fd, rfds, NULL, NULL, tv);
  if ((res != -1)  (res != 0))
puts("Got data");
else
puts("fuck, no data");

Any1 can help ?

hi,

How can two drivers communicate between each other in Linux?
Does Linux support some sort of Inter Driver Communication (IDC) ???

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

thanx,

Hello all!

Are there any good documentation on Linux ioctl() requests 
*other than* kernel source? Descriptions in man pages are so 
brief as to understand the functionality of particular requests.


Thanks in advance,

Use a 38er for 1024x738 or see man xwd for less.

Combine the two. Make the .signature a named pipe to a gnuclient talking
