Re: [pygame] Multiple keyboard

Hi,

You're using X right?  I can't find a way with Xlib to find which keyboard generated the event.  I also don't have an extra keyboard to plugin at the moment.

Try running 'xev' in a terminal.  Then press a key on each keyboard, and see if there are any differences in the output.

They should print something like this:
"""
KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
    root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 223972330, (-345,178), root:(450,225),
    state 0x4, keycode 54 (keysym 0x63, c), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (03) ""
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (03) ""
    XFilterEvent returns: False
"""

Maybe copy them back to the email so we can all have a look.



cheers,

Hi,

It might be possible to get that information with a system message.
What platform/s do you need to support?

   Hi
   We have an application using a Digital Keyboard like this one :
   http://www.targus.ca/ca/__product_details.asp?sku=__AKP10CA

   <http://www.targus.ca/ca/product_details.asp?sku=AKP10CA>

   Now our application need many of them, and our application must
   distinguish all key from all keyboard.  For example, when user press
   enter from keyboard 1, we must know the KP_ENTER is from keyboard 1,
   and same thing for keyboard 2...n

   Is this possible with Pygame (according to our web search this seams
   to not feasible with Pygame, but I'm hopping you prove me wrong and
   we will not have to do that at SDL level... (please...)

   Thanks,
