Hello list!
This is my first e-mail to this ML, so please be patient.
SYSTEM:
I am working on a deboostrapped chrooted Debian Wheezy on our board (ARM
based - i.MX28 SoC Processor). This board has USB Host A type connector,
USB - OTG (microUSB) Device connector, a LVDS display, external microSD
Card and internal 2 Gbytes eMMC chip.
I built this system in late 2012 and everything seems to be working ok.
Now I am achieving to use a usb-keyboard in my application @ startup
(rc.local). My application is Qt-based (Qt 4.8.2).
The Qt keyboard driver is looking for tty1 as input device.
Now the problem:
the /etc/inittab has this line:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
so I can plug-in a usb-keyboard and I can login in this machine, and
this is good.
But, the Qt application is ignoring every keypress/release in the USB
keyboard because everything is passed to the getty/login program.
It would be good if I duplicate all inputs from the usb-keyboard to go
to the getty __AND__ the Qt application.
How can achieve that?
My kernel commandline has:
console=tty0
as the last command, just to be sure I can see the debian booting into
the LCD Screen.
Any hint or helpful trick will be greatly appreciated.
Last but not least, just for your reference, if I comment out the
/etc/inttab line (so not having any getty login on tty1) my Qt
Application is working good.
Best regards,
--
