hi arpit, > Hi, I wish to write a device driver for my keyboard as it contains > some hot keys like (mutimedia keyboard). > I wish to use those keys in my linux system. > can anybody have any idea regarding that? depending on what keyboard you use, there are several user-space utilities. i think no kernel work is needed for that. xbindkeys works really well. i use it in combination with hotkeys, because there are 'special keys' in my hp laptop that xbindkeys can't use. hth, topi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
