Hello,
I'm setuping a system without keyboard, but with VGA in. I don't want to just login from /dev/ttyS0, because the display will be outputed to /dev/ttyS0 too.
Could I using a serial input device to substitue keyboard, just like a terminal without display, for example, press Alt-Fn will change to the vitual terminal n, press Shift-Pgup to scroll back.
I read file in linux/drivers/char for several days, I still don't know how /dev/tty1-63 connected to /dev/tty ( I thought it's the base keyboard, is it? ). And I know I should write a new serial driver, and disable the whole keyboard. After reading lines of source code, I'm been confused, so I determined to get help.
Thanks.
