I try to control keyboard LEDs with ioctl calls but they don't work. Despite ioctl returns success, LEDs will not turn on/off. The same code works fine on Linux (with a change of <machine/console.h> to <linux/kd.h>. Is it a bug or feature of FBSD? How to make it work? The code is following: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <machine/console.h> main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char leds; if ( ioctl( 0, KDGETLED, &leds ) ) { fprintf(stderr,"Can't get leds\n"); exit(1); } if ( ioctl( 0, KDSETLED, leds | LED_CAP ) ) { fprintf(stderr,"Can't set leds\n"); exit(1); } printf("Caps lock should glow\n"); getchar(); ioctl( 0, KDSETLED, leds ); exit(0); } Sincerely, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
