| |
Salut,
I've got into trouble with the Linux 2.6 keyboard layer of Linux 2.6.0-test9* (That is, I've tested the original as well as BK and the mm1 and mm2 patches.) The problem is the keyboard buffer.
tty->filp.char_buf is filled correctly by my typings. The buffer state goes up, and once I've typed 255 characters, of course it's full. *But* the big deal with the keyboard buffer is usually somebody who's reading out the contents and processing it, so that the characters I typed are processed. This is *not* taking place. The buffer just fills up and there we are.
I'm of course trying to solve that problem on my own (I remember that last time I've had a problem no one even read my email), but I'd be glad if you'd give me some additional hints on what to do.
If I use SysRq, the whole thing works, of course, as SysRqs aren't read from the input buffer.
(The input is processed corectly all the way from the keyboard (PS/2 or USB, doesn't matter, as it works both ways.) into the buffers. The up/down events are handled correctly. The only thing that's wrong is that nobody is reading out the buffer afterwards.)
Thanks a lot for every helpful response.
