NetBSD and OpenBSD share (at least try to) the wscons console driver which has a notion of event which is not too far away from evdev. It should be possible to write a more OS neutral event based input driver which could cover all of Solaris, Linux and wscons events. I must admit that I don't know too much about the current state of the FreeBSD console driver though. -- Matthieu Herrb _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
