All: I'm trying to get a cuecat working, and tried the cuecat software in the ports tree, but had a problem. Xcuecat is supposed to take input from STDIN, but my cuecat was not sending any input to STDIN from the ps/2 port on my HP Pavillion n6395. The port maintainer told me that on a desktop computer, the cuecat would send to STDIN because it would be plugged in serial (connectivity means, not the serial port type :) with the keyboard through the ps/2 port. What can I do on my laptop, where the keyboard is not in the ps/2 "chain"? What device is a ps/2 port? I imagine I could just do a "cuecat < cat /dev/ps2_device_name", perhaps. Would that work? If so, what is ps2_device_name? dmesg gives me no clues. :-( -Eric I. Arnoth To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
