Hi !

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 !

Kai
