I do turn on CONFIG_VT, if I don't I will not be able to pass compiling the
keyboard.c and some other stuffs.
Because I did not turn on INPUT_EVDEV, so I did not create the device node
before.
However, I just gave it a quick try by turning on INPUT_EVDEV and create the
device nodes; and actually I saw response on input/event0!! Thanks!
Now I have some questions:
1. I have CONFIG_VT on, so why ttyN is not connected to the device? I saw
console.o and tty_io.o, etc.
What may be wrong or did I miss doing some things that I should do?
2. In the application, how can I know which input/event# the usb keyboard
connects to?
3. Is there some reference documents about how to read things from
input/event# ? I mean such as how to read key event?
Thanks
John

Do you have CONFIG_VT=y? I guess not.
Do you receive anything on /dev/input/eventX?
