Help regarding the standard keyboard/mouse device entry files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,
I want to know the standard device entry files for the keyboard and mouse device in linux with both
2.4 and 2.6 kernels. Can anybody please help me to find out the device entry for both
devices? I am not able to find any /dev/kbd or /dev/keyboard entry in the /dev location.
But if I do the cat /proc/bus/input/devices (handlers) I can see some informations. But there
are more interfaces for mouse like /dev/input/mouse0, /dev/mice or /dev/input/event0 . I am little bit
confused choosing the right dev interface for my application. I am not able to find the dev entry for
keyboard except /dev/input/event1 (evdev entry for keyboard by Xorg if I am not wrong).
 
please help me to find the correct device entry files for keyboard and mouse irrespective of the
i) kernel version (2.4 and 2.6) and ii) connected bus type (USB or serial) and iii) linux distro.
(e.g SLES or RHEL like that)
 
Thanks in advance. Sorry if it is not the right place to ask this query.
 
Regards,
Santosh
