Hi all, I am trying to get the modules evbug.c running on centos 5.

I took the source file from the kernel, put it in a directory. I made a Makefile: obj-m := evbug.o

all: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

clean: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean

I then type make; insmod evbug.ko and type dmesg and say the following:

evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0 evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 4, Code: 4, Value: 22 evbug.c: Event.

so I presume all my KEYS that are typed are being logged.

How do I access those now?

I mean the source talks about dumping all key events into syslog How do I read syslog? /var/log/messages is not showing the information. Only when I type dmesg do I see the data. In what file is dmesg information???

The goal here is to read the file looking for occasional key presses.

Thanks,

Jerry
