The fellow who showed some interest in my need for some kybd feedback is a volunteer from Gallaudet U. Altho it is "unlikely" that I'll get a free "XO" to hack on, the chances are better if I have some kind of team. The obvious "conflict"--if it can be called that--is that the XO is Red Hat. Another thing is that I know virtually nothing about the Linux kernel. With FBSD, I'm looking at the dev/* files I have to work with. requests for Help on the Linux side are not necessary. Obviously, anything I come up with can very likely be ported to the Linux kernel if they want it. I'm making no claim whatsoever on whatever kind of clicky thing I can hack. There are other ways of doing this, but I want the clicks to be available with or without X11. xset.c relies on the Xlib stuff that I started hacking on in 1996; gave it up after six months. Bottom line is that my text-to-speech app should be usable from a cheap notebook without X to a clunky ThinkPad with/without X. -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.79a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
