Kernel Module waits for user input

Abid Malik · 03-23-2011, 04:20 AM

Hello friends,

I need help regarding to the Linux kernel module that waites for user input from keyboard and then display or prints it on the terminal only.

I have made a function that uses tty structure but it works only in _init or main only. Please give me a simple Linux Kernel Module code in c that works accordingly.

Thank you.

Do you mean you are booting to a command prompt & you want to start a GUI ( Gnome et cettera) ?

try

startx

or

sudo startx
