The fellow who showed some interest in my need for some kybd
feedback is a volunteer from Gallaudet U. Altho it is "unlikely"
that I'll get a free "XO" to hack on, the chances are better if I
have some kind of team.
The obvious "conflict"--if it can be called that--is that the XO
is Red Hat. Another thing is that I know virtually nothing about
the Linux kernel. With FBSD, I'm looking at the dev/* files I have
to work with. requests for Help on the Linux side are not
necessary.
Obviously, anything I come up with can very likely be ported to the
Linux kernel if they want it. I'm making no claim whatsoever on
whatever kind of clicky thing I can hack.
There are other ways of doing this, but I want the clicks to be
available with or without X11. xset.c relies on the Xlib stuff
that I started hacking on in 1996; gave it up after six months.
Bottom line is that my text-to-speech app should be usable from
a cheap notebook without X to a clunky ThinkPad with/without X.
