Hi,
We're trying to get a USB keyboard working under X in our embedded system.
We are using a custom graphics chip, that provides support for a linux framebuffer device (kernel version 2.4). On top of this we are then running X, using the kdrive Xfbdev server.
We have plugged in a USB keyboard and mouse, and both are recognised by the kernel. Reading from the appropriate /dev/input/eventX device shows that both devices are working. We have successfully configured X to use the USB mouse.
However, we are not having any success in getting the keyboard to work under X. Our system console is on a serial port, and there is no 'standard' console for the keyboard to 'hook' up to.
Can anyone offer any advice as to how we can get this to work? Do we need to somehow 'divert' the USB keyboard to the console that X is using? If so, how do we do this?
Many thanks.
Andy
