kbdd - a userspace daemon/driver for serial keyboard devices

Uses uinput.

For Familiar-Linux based device use kernel >= 2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh36.11

Usage:

	modprobe uinput

	kbdd -p /dev/<ser-port> -t <keyb-type>

Type on the keyboard and you should receive input in the focused window.

To disable auto-keyrepeat using X11 you can use the xset command
	xset r off


Usage:
./kbdd [-d] [-h] [-c <config file>] -p <serial-port> -t <kbd type>
