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.

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>
<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,

Hi
Sorry for late response, being busy running a business.
This is the xev output on my Ubuntu system, with 2 identical Targus keyboads. I
pressed 1 on keyboard 1 and 2 on keyboard 2, then 1 on keyboard 1 and 2 on
keyboard 2, etc...

So the question is : how can I differentiate the key stroke from wich keyboard
it comes from ?
Is it possible with Pygame ? Or do we have to interface with SDL ? Other ?
Thanks
