Hi, While it's technically possible (and has been done in the past) to attach other keyboard devices directly to Xorg, it's not the direction we're heading to with the work done by mpi@ and ulf@ on input devices. you should definatly have something that hooks into wskbd(4). Look at how various keyboard protocols are hooked into wskbd for various architectures. And I believe keyboards are a bit easier to handle than pointing devices. -- Matthieu Herrb
