Guys, > I appreciate the work here, but we are starting to grow too many > independent keyboard abstractions that don't seem to work together and > don't seem to solve the primary problem that we have right now. What > we really need is a single unified keyboard and mouse virtualization > layer that allows bluetooth, usb, and at/ps2 devices to plug in at the > bottom and talk to the one or more console interfaces at the top. It > should allow devices to be plugged in at runtime and should insulate > the real console interface from caring which keyboard is plugged in at > boot, if any are at all. And yt _does_ need to work in single user mode > and in DDB. i did sent email to current asking for comments. did not get much feedback. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-current/2004-August/034020.html > I know I'm saying a lot of 'shoulds' right now, but the rise of these > non-at/ps2 keyboards is causing us lots of problems and we need to fix > it. Brooks had talked about working on something similar to what I've > described above, so please work with him to mold your vkbd work into > that model. very well. i touched it. might as well try and fix it :) anyone has any ideas? code? anything? oh, one more thing, would you like me to back vkbd(4) out? max
