- HI all,
- I trying to write a program that needs to be able to check
- what is being typed on the keyboard even if this app isn't the current
- app. I found the way to get the address of the keyboard device, but
- from there I am unsure as to what to do. Is there a specific place
- from the beginning of the device address that can tell me what the
- current key that was pushed is? Or would it be impossible for me to
- try and accomplish something like this? Can what I want to do be
- accomplished with some ioctl() calls? And if so, what would they be.
- Any comments or suggestions would be great,
- --
