 Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2008 2:53 pm Post subject: AT Keyboard -> Corresponding /dev entry [non-gentoo][solv |
 |

| Code: |
dmesg | grep AT
<6>input: AT Raw Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input0
|
How do I find out what is the corresponding entry in the /dev filesystem for this keyboard? All I have currently is that this is registered under /sys/class/input/input0 but there is nothing under dev related to this. Then, if I were to use mknod for creating something under dev how would I tell it to communicate with this keyboard.
@mods - this is completely unrelated to gentoo - this is something that I am trying separately, so please move it if this is not the appropriate place for this thread.

OK, the closest that one can apparently get is /dev/stdin. I, it seems, was jumping without any reason, so as to say. I, somehow, thought that Xorg would require me to specify the keyboard device just like a mouse device, which is not the case. It reads the device automatically, it seems. Anyways, my point was that I wanted Xorg to recognize the keyboard which it does. It fails on fbdev (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5189540.html#5189540), but this part of the problem is solved.
