Hi! I have an ActionStar KVM switch which is working ok. Now I want to be able to use the hotkey feature of it, and that would require a driver. There is one for windows but alas not for linux. (to my knowledge, at least). So I have started writing a driver for it. This leads me to a couple of questions:
Are there any KVM drivers already out there, which I could use as a starting point? What interface would be best to export to userspace apps? One idea is to have a character device, like /dev/input/kvm0 and then one could switch by echo 1 >/dev/input/kvm0. However, the KVM is special in that it is an output device, so I dont know if it should be under input. How do I prevent hiddev to claim the device? I have written a small test driver, but its probe() is never called even though I have the right manufacturer id and product id set up. I think it is because the device is claimed by hiddev.
