I try to install a Gigatek PCS230 proximity cardreader on a linux system. The card is connected using a keyboard wedge, so it translates the cardnumber into keyboard strokes. THis works well under windows. But when I use it under Linux, the cardnumber does not show up in the editor. Only the CR seems to work under linux. Any suggestions? I would like to run this application under Linux, but have no clues left. Thanks! With kind regards, Marcel Gommans
