Hi,

just as a curiosity (or maybe not...) i was wondering what would be the
easiest way to get rough estimate of the number of keypress and mouse
movements i do.

It appears that vmstat -i already gives some estimate for the
keyboard, e.g. ordinary keys give a couple of interrupts (on
press/release), but whenever the autorepeat starts I get some 18
int/s and thus the data is extremely noisy.

Is there a way to get 'true' keypress counts in the "sc" driver, and
especially log this info into syslog when the system is shut down ?

Same problems for mouse movements, except perhaps that i can hook into
moused and so the problem is a little bit easier to deal with.

	cheers
	luigi
