Hi,
Was wondering if there is a Linux program out there that allows a user to manually test keys on a keyboard. We made our own custom Knoppix bootable CD for the purposes of obtaining computer and laptop specifications. Because laptops have built-in keyboards, we need to test the functionality of the keys. We've located a couple of Windows and DOS based programs, but nothing available for Linux. We could setup a dual boot with a DOS based tool, but this would be time consuming. Our Knoppix version has stripped out the GUI environment to speed up the boot process. We currently operate with a terminal based menu system. I was thinking of a Macromedia/Adobe Flash application but without a GUI, can't do much. Coding the Flash version would also be very tedious and some keyboard keys might not be available as "capturable" key presses.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
