I'm trying to set up a small embedded system for gps receiving with a linux system. I want to have the system working without a graphics card - wich works well. The Problem I have at the moment is to access the keyboard without a graphics card, because the console driver does not start then ( Also a redirect doesn't work then :-( ) Is there a way to access the keyboard in this case by a user program ? The system recognises the keyboard ( I think Kernel and init) and reacts if ctrl-alt-del is pressed. Thanks for your help !
