What were you trying to do?
In my dotfiles, determine whether the local console uses the
normal keymap or the weirdo new keymap the new Blade USB
keyboards have.
What's wrong:
qsh:~mg% kbd -t
opening the keyboard: Permission denied
kbd: Cannot open /dev/kbd
Seems fairly self-explanatory.
What should have happened:
On coleco-sidewinder.mit.edu:
csw:~mg% kbd -t
USB keyboard
Relevant docs:
man kbd
Thanks,
